Once you have assembled your windsurfing board properly, always remember that you have to enter the water while your Windsurfing Sails are lowered. You should balance your feet on the board at least a shoulder width apart and then you gently rock back and forth. This is a good way of establishing good balance on the windsurfing board. After a few more minutes and once you are sure that you have already established your balance, you can slowly lift the sail. Just make sure that you retain a proper stance while you are lifting the windsurfing sails because it will easily catch the wind as soon as it is up.
