Windsurfing is the summer activity for healthy, active people who seek new and enjoyable outdoor experiences. Your age, sex or strength don't have anything to do with your ability to learn to windsurf.
There are weather conditions which you will enjoy to windsurf in. For safety reasons you should know how to keep yourself afloat and swim after your board when you have that little swim.
Windsurfing has been in existence since the early 70s. Now windsurfing schools understand well what equipment is best for the prevailing conditions and what equipment suits your ability level.
