my dad has two of those, i never tried but my brother did and said it was fun but didn't really get into it.
at least it was only $20 and not $200.
you need a proper board

Yep thats a windsurf board. Looks like a 'Sailboard Masterclass 355' circa mid 1980's which some eejit has put an extra fin in the back of the fin box, and the dagger board is missing. It will surf very badly.

All windsurf boards surf badly, cos they're just not shaped the same way. However, getting that thing in the water and building up paddle fitness would be a good start!!

You'll notice that Doctor Pepper hasn't returned since his first post.
I'm guessing that somewhere there's a forum with a thread that starts...
