Windsurfing is an expensive sport. To adapt to the wind strength and sail as often as possible, you need several sails, but also several boards.
This project proposes another approach: a single, low-volume board to which inflatable “sleeves” are added. By increasing its volume on demand, the same board adapts as well to strong winds as to lighter conditions.
The sleeve is made of a PVC skin reinforced with a polyester thread mesh, and takes foam pads and straps.
From the car to the water, setting up takes just a few moves: take out the board, unroll the sleeve, slip it on, strap it, inflate it, then head to the water with your rig.
