Eastern Cape in South Africa offers excellent opportunities for Board Sailing. Board Sailing in South Africa has been growing since its entry into the mainstream adventure activities in the early 80's and constitutes one of the most popular sports.

Art of Board Sailing : The water-sport of Board Sailing, also popularly known as Windsurfing, involves travelling over water on a small 2 - 4.7 meter board. The Board is driven by wind acting on a single sail that is connected to the board with a flexible joint. The sport is a combination of sailing and surfing. The sail board might be considered the most basic version of the modern sailboat. The major difference between the two lies in the fact that steering is accomplished by tilting the mast and sail rather than with a rudder. Wind surfing requires the surfer to adjust his strength and balance to the changing patterns of the wind and the water.
