The Physical Element

The Physical Element
Windsurfing is a very physical sport and was made even more so when unlimited "pumping" was allowed after the 1992 Olympics. Pumping the sail creates artificial wind and can greatly increase the sailors speed. Sailors pump as often as they can throughout the race to have the highest speed possible. Pumping is extremely taxing on the body and requires both power and endurance. Studies have shown that Olympic Windsurfers are as fit as elite rowers and cross country skiers. To be competitive sailors must be in top physical condition. However, windsurfing is still a finesse sport and also requires good starts, boatspeed and tactics for success.
