Yes, windsurfers — we've got you too. We're best known as a kitesurfing and wing foiling shop, but a good chunk of what keeps you warm, hooked in and powered up on Irish water is exactly the same kit — and we stock it all here in Barna, ten minutes from Rusheen Bay, Galway's home of windsurfing. Here's what's in the shop for windsurfers, all gathered in our new Windsurfing Gear collection.
Harnesses and windsurf spreader bars
Mystic waist harnesses are as at home on a windsurf board as on a kiteboard — the difference is the hook. The Mystic Stealthbar Windsurf (€90, 280mm and 320mm, in stock) has the traditional stainless steel windsurf hook and is designed for windsurfers of all disciplines — pair it with any Mystic waist harness from our harness collection (Warrior, Majestic, Stealth) and you're set. There's also a barely-used Banana Bar with quick release for €40 while it lasts.
Wetsuits, boots, gloves and hoods
Windsurfing in Ireland is a twelve-month sport if your rubber is right. Our guide to wetsuit thickness for Irish water applies to windsurfing exactly as it does to kiting: 5/4 hooded for winter, 4/3 or 5/3 for the shoulders, 3/2 for summer. Browse the full Wetsuits & Waterwear collection, add Mystic split-toe boots, gloves and a hood for the cold months, and stack the discounts in our Gear Up & Save range — 10% off over €200 up to serious savings on a full winter kit.
FCS II fin sets
Riding a board with FCS II boxes? We stock FCS II wave fin sets: the Carver Glass Flex thruster set (€49.90) for speed and flow, the Accelerator Neo Glass Eco (€89.90), and the precision Accelerator H4 (€169.90) for control at speed.
Bags and the rest
Board bags (including the Mystic Elevate wheeled bag for travel), beanies, ponchos, impact vests — the accessories wall doesn't care what's pulling you along. And if you're windsurf-curious about the foiling side of life, our wing foil lessons at Silverstrand are the gentlest crossover in watersports — half of Ireland's wingers started on a windsurf board.
