La primera noci\u00f3n de windsurf que se conoce es de 1935, cuando Tom Blake le inserta un aparejo a su tabla de surf c\u00f3ncava. Desde entonces, y con ayuda de la aerodin\u00e1mica, los dise\u00f1os se fueron perfeccionando hasta lo que conocemos hoy d\u00eda: m\u00e1stil rotativo, sujeciones en los pies para no ser despedidos por la fuerza del agua, tama\u00f1o y forma de botavaras y velas, nuevas maniobras, y un largo etc\u00e9tera.<\/p>\n<p>Y esto va m\u00e1s all\u00e1\u2026 \u00bfQue te gusta volar cometas? \u00bfY hacer surf?

Summer calls for sunlight and seaside, and what better sport to enjoy both than windsurfing. All you need is to be willing to get into the water and, of course, some wind and waves.<\/p>\n<p>The Costa de la Luz in Cadiz, and more specifically the Tarifa area, is most appropriate for the practice of this sport. Experts say conditions on the Strait of Gibraltar are determined by east and west winds. When the east wind blows, as a result of a high pressure area sweeping across the Iberian Peninsula, the wind is pushed through the strait. This creates strong currents that attract droves of courageous people who dare try to prevail over these waters.<\/p>\n<p>Windsurfing is a variation of the well-known sport of surfing, which originated in Hawaii reportedly as far back as the time before the Middle Ages. The first recorded example of windsurfing is from 1935, when Tom Blake inserted a rig into his concave surf board. From then on, and thanks to aerodynamics, subsequent designs were perfected until the one we know today: rotating mast, straps to hold your feet so you\u2019re not thrown off the board by the force of the water, the size and shape of the sails and booms, new maneuvers, and so on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/deadstar\/3566104829\/\">photo by: deadstar 2.0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sport can offer you more\u2026 Do you like flying kites? And surfing? Then you can try kitesurfing, a more recent version developed by youngsters who want to experience powerful sensations: athletes gliding on their boards, powered by traction kites, which bring their speed to a maximum.<\/p>\n<p>Anything goes as long as you can enjoy a good time with excitement, good company, sunshine, and beaches. And, since we are in Cadiz already, we should also enjoy the good spirit of its people, and fried fish!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cada temporada, como es obvio, va asociada a un tipo de deporte.
