# Why do I need additional buoyancy when windsurfing?

Additional buoyancy can often resolve a problematic situation in the water instantly and knowing that you have buoyancy with you just in case will allow you to enjoy your windsurfing adventure much more freely and relaxed.

Remember that even the best equipment can be damaged or you can be unexpectedly separated from your equipment. In this case, additional buoyancy carried on your body and with you at all times is vital. Other people in the water may also need help. By handing them a buoyancy compensator from a safe distance, you can help them effectively without putting yourself in danger.
