As regular, local sailors on Travis, it often frustrated us to watch new people come to the sport and try to learn on 10 year old, secondhand equipment. Thin, wobbly boards and old rigs make learning our sport twice as hard, and take three times as long. To help fix this, we founded Austin Sail Works. Our goal is to bring to the market complete end-to-end equipment packages, using the latest gear, at great prices. To make this really work, we are not only offering the best possible prices, we are also going to show you how to set it up and get going out on Lake Travis. To put the icing on the cake, we are also offering a guaranteed buy back on all learner boards and sails we sell! If you look after the gear, come time to upgrade, we'll buy them right back from you at a competitive market price!
We have special packages for beginners, improvers and out-and-out race heads

Just like the kids' pack, you get a complete board and rig. This deal includes the Rio M, at 205 liters, ideal for adults up to 200lbs or about 8 kids at once J We chose the Rio for its durability and features. The Rio is super fat and stable, with a full EVA padded deck. Maximum stability and surprising performance. Got to say it, the ideal starter setup!

Improver Packages
The Improver package is designed for the more progressive learner or for those that are already up and moving and ready to lighten up the board, get into the straps and get gone. These packages are ideal for kids and adults possibly into their second season and starting to feel a little more confident. Again the gear selected here is ideal for improving on Lake Travis. Wide-style boards in the hardest finish (Tough Skin) and super high-quality rigs from Sailworks. We've selected the Retro rigs as they are fantastically made and mega durable. You'll be using this gear as you cross the line on your fist race J A little more money, but way more performance!

The Improver package gets a bit more performance oriented and includes the Starboard F-Type. This is a killer formula style board, durable, floatatious, made for Lake Travis! Put a Sailworks Retro 7m sail on it and wave bye bye to your buddies. The Retro 7m is probably the most widely used sail in the world, awesome build quality. This is no cheap, nasty gear; some of the best components available on the market today. Sure we'll buy it back, we'll use it ourselves!

Race Packages
This is an unbelievable deal! The Formula FE 160 is an exact replica of the wood 160 race board in a Tough Skin finish. In our opinion, there's nothing better for all-round, all-lake speed and 100% up-time on Lake Travis. Add a super durable Sailworks 10m sail and your ready to race! If you buy one of these and don't end up spending 200 days a year on the water – shame on you !
