Go Windsurfing

Experience windsurfing in a fun and safe way by booking on one of our Taster sessions or courses. A perfect activity for beginners or to refresh your skills if you haven’t been on the water for a while. If you have your own board and rig and want some help getting started (or just to improve your skills on it), we can help. Please note that Windsurfers are not available for hire.

We offer a range of courses to suit all ages and abilities, from your first experience of windsurfing to sessions leading to the internationally recognised RYA qualifications.

Book a Windsurfing Taster Session

Our Windsurfing Taster Sessions provide the perfect opportunity to come and have a go, without having to commit to a 2-day course. It might be something you have always fancied, but not had the confidence to try and see if it is for you. Maybe you have not sailed for a while and just need some help getting back get out on the water

Whatever your reason, our taster sessions will give you the basic skills you will need if you decide to go on and book a RYA Course.
