The RRD KID JOY WITH RIG Y27 is a complete windsurfing rig designed for children and young people taking their first steps on the water. It has been developed to make learning simple, intuitive, and fun, with a light, manageable, and durable setup.
Complete windsurfing rig for children
When a child first experiences the push of the wind, having easy-to-use equipment truly makes a difference. The KID JOY WITH RIG was created with precisely this goal: to offer a complete set designed to facilitate first starts, initial rides, and sail control in full progression.
The sail's behavior is designed to be accessible to younger users, with dedicated sizes and a construction that prioritizes maneuverability, lightness, and practicality of use. It is an ideal solution for sailing schools, water sports centers, and families looking for a reliable, ready-to-use junior rig.
Main features
- Complete rig dedicated to children and riders in the learning phase.
- Lightweight and manageable setup to facilitate initial outings.
- Robust construction, suitable for intense and repeated use.
- Color coding designed for easy recognition of the size on the water.
- Smaller sizes are easy to rig and control.

Why choose the KID JOY WITH RIG Y27
This model is designed to help children learn the fundamentals of windsurfing with less effort and greater perceived safety. A rig that is too heavy or too technical can slow down learning, while the KID JOY helps the child gain confidence more quickly with balance, sail orientation, and initial light planing.
The range covers various sizes and accompanies the growth of the young rider, allowing you to choose a more suitable size based on weight, approximate age, and wind intensity. This makes it a very sensible choice both as a first personal equipment and as a junior rig for school use.
Buyer's Guide
How to choose the right size
The choice of size mainly depends on three factors: the child's weight, wind intensity, and experience level. During the learning phase, it is advisable to prioritize a sail that is easy to lift and control, avoiding overly large sizes that would make maneuvers and re-starts more challenging.
Choice based on rider's weight
As a practical reference, the KID JOY range is distributed as follows:
- 0.8: suitable for children under approximately 17 kg, in very light wind conditions.
- 1.0: suitable for approximately 19 kg.
- 1.2: suitable for approximately 21 kg.
- 1.5: suitable for approximately 23 kg.
- 2.0: suitable for approximately 25 kg.
- 2.5: suitable for approximately 28 kg.
- 3.0: suitable for approximately 31 kg.
- 3.5: suitable for approximately 40 kg and up for more developed youngsters.
Choice based on wind
- In light winds 0-10 knots, it is advisable to go up in size to aid starting and maintain constant traction.
- In medium winds 10-15 knots, an intermediate, easily controllable size is preferable.
- In strong winds 15-20 knots, it's better to go down in size to increase comfort and safety.

Q&A
Is the KID JOY WITH RIG suitable for complete beginners?

Is it a complete product or just a sail?
It is a complete rig. It includes the sail, mast, boom, mast foot, and uphaul.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
The size should primarily be chosen based on the child's weight, then adjusted according to the wind and experience level. To learn well, it is preferable to stick to an easy-to-handle size rather than an overly large one.
Is it a good choice for a sailing school?
Yes, because it combines simplicity, robustness, and a very progressive range of sizes. It is suitable for frequent use and educational contexts.
Are the larger sizes still suitable for growing children?
Yes, the larger sizes allow for the progression of older and heavier riders. In this way, the KID JOY line covers a wide range of junior learning.
When should one move to a larger size?
When the rider can control the current sail well, sails consistently, and their weight has increased compared to the size in use. Spots with light wind can also make a larger sail size useful.
