Extreme what?

Should windsurfing be considered an "extreme" sport? Many who don't sail say "no". Curious answer, me thinks. Sure - lake sailing in 5 knots is not "extreme", although it can be extremely fun!  However, while windsurfing on Maui over the course of the past twenty years, I've been the recipient of a sprained ankle, torn ligaments, cracked ribs, shredded hands and feet, an injured meniscus - and an impact with a boom so severe that I blacked out shortly after struggling back to the beach. Now bear in mind, I'm not even a radical sailor. I don't sail Hookipa. I don't loop. I don't race. So what's it like for those sailors who really go for it??? And what's your story? Reply below!

What would you change?

Question of the day:  If you could change one thing in the sport of windsurfing, what would it be?
