"J'irai plus vite en faisant de la planche à voile."

Translation: I will go faster by going windsurfing.

[Bluelensflares]

I don't quite understand what this sentence means in English - I will go faster compared to what? Also, is en faisant by going windsurfing or while going windsurfing?

[InvertedGo]

When you windsurf you move faster than when you're swimming/walking/doing cartwheels. Really anything that would be slower than windsurfing.

[Anne737429]

also accepted if you miss out "going"

[oNcPAsW2]

Should also be accepted without "while".

j'irai plus vite en allant faire de la planche a voile

Awkward.

[RogerRivero0]

The lessons are too long and the translation to English suck.
windsurfing is a verb.

[effyleven]

Windsurfing is verb, but can be used as a noun... for instance, when using the word as a short term for the art of windsurfing.

[Gord543537]

To windsurf is a verb. Windsurfing is a noun, more specifically, a gerund. But I think I understand your point, that it is not the action of 'going' windsurfing that increases the speed but rather it is the action of windsurfing itself. In the meantime, I will lose some weight by 'going' walking. ;-)

[--Roody--]

It isn't a verb in French, so of course the direct default translation will not use it as a verb. The purpose of the default translation is to teach French vocab and grammar, not to sound really cool in English.
