| Windsurfers use a sailboard. It is a board much like a surfboard. It is made of plastic or fiberglass. A mast, or vertical pole, stands in the center of the board. The sail is hooked to the mast. There is a plastic window in the sail, so that the surfer can see where the board is going. The surfer keeps his or her balance and steers by holding onto a boom. The boom is a horizontal bar that is attached to the sail. The surfer lifts the sail out of the water with a rope that is attached to the boom. There have been many arguments over who first invented the sailboard. In 1982, a court ruled out that a 12-year-old British boy had made the first sailboard in 1958. This sport first became popular in Europe in the 1970s. Funboarding is a special kind of windsurfing. Funboards were designed to be used in strong winds. It is a popular sport in Hawaii. |
