abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We consider the following problem: Given a finite number of
sails of different sizes with prescribed shapes, given the speed of the
wind, the weight of a surfer, the size and shape of a surfboard and a
corresponding fin; determine the sail and the course such that the
windsurfer achieves maximal speed. We develop a simple model for
describing the movement of the windsurfer for maximizing the speed in
terms of a nonlinear ODE (ordinary differential equation). We conclude
with the presentation of corresponding numerical results, some remarks
on their validation and more involved models.</p>},
