I just received my first new rig, but am not sure what everything is?


A great question, especially since for someone just starting the sport, all the parts may not be regognizable.

If you have ordered just a rig from us (ie Gaastra Pilot, Gaastra Freetime (pictured), you will have received (from left to right):

Boom - the large wishbone shaped piece that you hold onto. We make sure that the boom is properly sized to your sail.

Sail - Is delivered rolled up, which is how you will also store it. Will either be in a cloth bag, or a plastic bag.

Mast - Comes in two pieces, and is sized to fit you sail accordingly.

Uphaul Rope (far right, top left) - Stetchy bungee rope that you use to pull the sail out of the water.

DVD (far right, middle) - A guide to help you learn how to windsurfing *Note - the DVD is only included in our complete packages that include both rig and board.

Mast Base - Blue aluminum tube that is used to downhaul your sail with.

This is only checklist of the parts you will have received, and a more complete rigging guide will follow shortly.
