The most basic thrill in windsurfing is speed, but later you can take on wave-jumping (leaping off the crests of breakers), 360-degree spins, and other daredevil moves. Those who shy away from the X-games stuff can simply cruise and enjoy the intricate combination of impulsion and grace that comes only from wind power.
以風浪板來說，初期以「玩速度」為主、之後則可挑戰「跳浪」（從浪頭上方躍過）、360 度轉彎等花式玩法。不喜歡激烈運動的，則可以走休閒方式，乘風享受「力」與「美」的巧妙結合。
