Thanks @audreybits and yes most of us on the BWA tour have been windsurfing since the age of 10-11. Although most of us started on gear from the 80's and 90's so it was much bigger and heavier than today. Kids these days can start as young as 6 or 7 and by the time they are 10-11 there absolutely ripping!! The sport is young and the future is bright in my opinion.
