Best Waterproof Phone Pouch for Windsurfing

Windsurfing has been described as "surfing’s ginger-haired cousin" by Robby Naish, a pioneer and early veteran of the sport. Whereas traditional surfing requires you to hug the waves and use their momentum to move, windsurfing employees a sturdy sail to catch the wind and propel you forward. Because of this, it can be done on just about any sizable body of water, though your results may vary depending on the normal wind speed and wave size.

While windsurfing can be relaxing and more akin to sailing a small boat, the possibility of a thrilling experience is very real, owed to the fact that you're still at the mercy of the waves, while also having additional propulsion from the wind. The result is a sport that is similar to surfing while being different enough to stand alone.

What do I need to windsurf?

You need a surfboard for starters, but you'll also need a boom, sail, and mast. A long time ago, windsurfers would retrofit their surfboards with this equipment, but the sport’s popularity has created a market for boards made with windsurfing in mind. These include all of the necessary components and are also designed with slightly different lengths and widths, more in line with windsurfing versus traditional surfing.

A wet suit is another excellent piece of equipment to invest in because you'll likely fall off quite a bit to start. Learning surfing - wind or otherwise - is a very trial-and-error process that will leave you in the ocean or lake more often than not at first. This is where the wetsuit will come in handy.

Additionally, it's worth investing in a ugo™ waterproof phone pouch to protect your mobile phone while you're out windsurfing. These small pouches allow you to keep your phone on you for photographing your exploits or in case of an emergency while protecting your expensive electronic investment. There's also the threat of dropping your phone in a roiling ocean, and ugo™ waterproof phone pouches float instead of sinking, helping you keep track of your mobile device in case of an off-board spill.
