A windsurfing board kit (100) for assembling different types of windsurfing boards, comprising:
- a first portion (102) comprising a first bottom side (106) and a first tail fin (108) provided on said first bottom side (106), and
- a second portion (104) comprising a second bottom side (112) and a second fin (114) provided on said second bottom side (112), the second portion (104) being removably connectable to the first portion (102),
- wherein the first portion (102) is configured to constitute a first windsurfing board by itself, with the first portion (102) and the second portion (104) configured to constitute a second windsurfing board when connected together, with the first tail fin (108) configured to act as a center board of the second windsurfing board and the second fin (114) configured to act as a tail fin of the second windsurfing board, and
- the second portion (104) is substantially in the shape of a “U” and comprises a pair of extending elongated members (123) configured to be arranged along outer sides of the first portion (102) and encompass and mate with side rails (125) of the first portion (102) along inner surfaces of the elongated members (123).
