Hey man saw all your clips and they are amazing. I want to ask you some questions, they might seem stupid to you.

Doesnt the wind always point in 1 direction? How can you get back to your starting point?

What months in your experience is best to windsurf in Cyprus?

To get back to the starting point you just need to go upwind..means towards the wind so when you return you have a safe angle of return. Its not complicated, once you get to it its easy... Also big fins contribute to wider angles of sailing. Best months MID APRIL - SEPT, NOV-DEC (not this year :))... basically all year round. I even remember good sessions in February...

Had an ACL injury which i suffered 3 operations (painfull) and its very sensitive when it comes to do sports.

I am limited to very few sports :<

So I'm trying to find a few sports out there which wont affect my knee injury so much.

i don't think it will affect it much but... on sub planning conditions you may want to put full weight on your leg, in planning conditions you may fall and twist your knee, same with jibing... but generally Windsurfing is quite a safe sport.
