Windsurfing is extremely popular in Hong Kong; the territory’s only Olympic gold medal to date (Atlanta, 1996) was won in this sport. The best time for windsurfing is October to December, when a steady northeast monsoon wind blows. Boards and other equipment are available for rent at St Stephen’s Beach Water Sports Centre (off Map; 2813 5407) in Stanley on Hong Kong Island, at the Windsurfing Centre (off Map; 2792 5605) in Sha Ha just north of Sai Kung in the New Territories, at the Cheung Chau Windsurfing Water Sports Centre ( Map; 2981 2772; www.ccwindc.com.hk) on Cheung Chau and at Long Coast Seasports ( Map; 2980 3222) on Lantau.

Wakeboarding has grown tremendously in popularity in recent years. Deep Water Bay is a popular area for the sport, but for other venues contact the Hong Kong Wakeboarding Association, which shares a website with the Hong Kong Water Ski Association ( 2504 8168; www.waterski.org.hk).
