Background info on Surfshop Windstärke 7:
The Surfshop Windstärke 7 is being run by Mrs. Lena Schreiber (see Imprint). Since the year 2006, we have sold windsurf equipment in our windsurf onlineshop that can be reached under the Domain http://www.windstaerke7.de. When choosing the windsurf products for our surfshop, we attach importance both on quality and the possibility of reasonable pricing for our customers´ benefit: For the past years, we have seen enormeous price increases for windsurf sails, Masts and Booms / wishbones, but also for accessory, spare parts and windsurf boards / sailboards. Apparently, the windsurf industry is trying to balance the drop in turnover due to a drop of windsurfers by increasing the prices. In the end, this is a bad thing for windsurfers. The surfshop Windstärke 7, conscious of this problem, tries to thwart this: By purchasing special offers or on special price occasions, the Surfshop is often able to grant considerable discounts to the customer and to make sales with special prices.
One of the main business focus of Surfshop Windstaerke7 is the sale of surfbags for all purposes, for example Boardbags, Mastbags, Equipment Bags, Quiverbags, Surftaschen or Surfbags. Our main deliverers for these bags are the manufacturers borkbag and Pro Limit. Of the first manufacturer, we do not only offer quality boardbags, but also Lycras (a Lycra or Rashguard is a shirt made of Spandex / Polyester cloth that you can wear on the water and use as a fast-drying sun protection or alternatively wear under a wetsuit to ensure freedom of movement in your suit). The windsurf equipment of Pro Limit that is worth an emphasis is the range of All-In-One Surfbags, for example the Pro Limit Session Boardbag or the Pro Limit Aero Session Bag which is also availabe with a removable caster set. Our Boardbag range is being completed by the range of Double Boardbags with inflatable side walls. This innovative sailboard transportation solution also comes from Pro Limit and is available in our windsurfshop.
Beside the above windsurf brands, the windsurf shop Windstärke 7 also sells the windsurf sails from Aerotech Sails, Ezzy Sails, Waterman Sails, North Sails and Rushwind, Windsurf Boards (or Sailboards) from Bic, Tiga, Drops, Goya, Quatro, und Attack as well as masts and booms of various manufacturers. As for accessories and spare parts, we offer the product range of Pro Limit and Ascan Surf.
In addition to our online surfshop, we also run an offline windsurf shop: You can come and pick up our goods at D-33428 Harsewinkel which is near Guetersloh (in the middle of Bielefeld, Osnabrück und Muenster). All purchases in our Surfshop on our website can also be picked up directly in our Surfshop. Of course, in that case, you do not pay any shipping costs. Before picking up the goods, we recommend to ask if the goods needed are in stock. You can either contact the Surfshop Team by Telephone or by Email.
Background info on Windsurfing:
Erste Entwicklungen zu einer rudimentären Art des Windsurfens entstanden 1964 als Weiterentwicklung des Wellenreitens. Die Motivation für diese Ausdifferenzierung des Surfsports bestand darin, das mühsame Anpaddeln des Wellenreitens zu vereinfachen. Der Name, der mit den Anfängen des Windsurfens verbunden wird, ist
Hoyle Schweitzer. Ein weiterer entscheidender Schritt in der Entwicklung des Surfsports ist die Erfindung des Trapez, das Kraftsynergien bewirkte. Viele Innovationen entwickelten den Surfsport schließlich zu dem, was er heute ist: Eine Massen-Funsportart. Seinen Höhepunkt erreichte der Windsurfsport Mitte der 90er Jahre. Mittlerweile wenden sich gerade jüngere Generationen vom Windsurfen ab und widmen sich dem Kitesport, eine weitere Surfsportart, die aus dem Windsurfen hervorgegangen ist.
Trotz des Rückgangs der Windsurfer sorgt ein nahezu flächendeckendes Surfshop Netz für die Erhältichkeit von Windsurf Artikeln. Darüber hinaus profitieren Windsurfer von einem stetig wachsenden Angebot an Online Surfshops im Internet, darunter auch das vom Windsurfshop Windstärke 7.
