Windsurfing is one of the best summer sports, great for adrenaline junkies and most people are unaware of the benefits associated with it. It’s equally entertaining for amateurs and professionals alike, and here’s why you should think about trying it out.

Fitness Benefits

Windsurfing is perfect for anyone who’s trying to take a break from the gym and mix things up, but still stay in good shape. This amazing activity will do wonders for your core, increase your cardio endurance, and burn between 500 and 1,000 calories per hour.

Mood Booster

In addition to being great for your physical health, windsurfing will also get you in a great mood. Just like many outdoor sports, this activity doesn’t even feel like a workout and you’ll end up making a bunch of friends along the way.
