Hello boys (and girls (boys)),
I really enjoy standup paddling and now want to get into windsurfing. I want to buy a Windsup and start with a cheap one, just to see if I enjoy it.

I dont want to spend more than 400€. Currently I am looking at these two:

and

which one of these should I get or are there maybe others that I should take a look at?

best regards,
Jürgen Schmitt

the decathlon one appears to have a center fin, the other one does not and so will not really be able to "sail" in any useful sense. that said, I have reservations about the decathlon one - a standard sup fin will not perform well enough to let you make any upwind progress in the light wind conditions suitable for a beginner. It just won't work. You may have more success retrofitting an existing board with an appropriate center-fin box and mast joint. I have personal experience with the slingshot sup-winder - which works quite well.

Looks stupid and fun at the same time. Need to try this too someday
