Windsurf Taster

A two-hour taster session is the perfect way to get the basics under your belt and see if you like it. We reckon you will!

All windsurfing sessions start with some on-land theory about parts of the boards and sails.

You will then take a turn on the ‘spinny sim’ simulator to get you used to how to get the sail up and what to do to turn.

Then we take you out on the water – sometimes with a line attached, sometimes further out with a safety boat for the instructor. Most students can sail across the wind and turn by the end of the lesson.

You don’t need to be super fit or an amazing swimmer, but you will need enough strength to haul yourself back onto your board (lots of times!) and to pull the sail up. We have plenty of kit for all sizes of students. You need to be aged 8 or above.
