Windsurfing the RRD Cruiser 12 Convertible SUP in Key Biscayne, FL

This is footage of the RRD Cruiser 12 Convertible being used as a windsurf board. The displacement nose and double concave bottom make it a very smooth and efficient paddle and windsurf board. The center fin allows it to go up-wind very well and makes the board maneuverable for a 12' board. The generous volume, flat deck, 30' width and large pad make this board comfortable for paddling, sailing as well as SUP yoga and fitness.

The sail being used is a RRD WASSUP sail, specifically designed to be used on SUP boards. Really nice and light weight and because it does not have a foot batten it's great for freestyle.

The kids crossing my path every now and then are using the RRD WASSUP 8'5" and 10' Convertibles.

Thanks Phil for taking this footage!

Lots of turns because it shows how much the center fin creates a pivoting point and drastically improves turning ability of this board that is primarily designed for efficient straight-line performance. On-shore wind made it difficult to show up-wind ability which is quite good. A bit more wind would have been more fun. Better footage coming soon. Sailed the board with a 7.4 sail as well and it worked perfectly. Would have been better this day as well but the WASSUP sail is just a lot of fun.
