In the scorching summer weather, besides staying in air-conditioned places, many people are also drawn to the vast ocean to participate in various water sports and feel the natural sea breeze and cool seawater. When it comes to water sports, windsurfing has been a relatively unpopular choice compared to activities such as diving, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding over the past decade.
