Taster Sessions

Our 2 hour Taster Sessions are an ideal way to try windsurfing before committing to a full course.

With small groups of 6 and the instructor in a powerboat alongside, it’s the perfect way to have a try to get a feel for it yourself.

Do we offer Winging courses?

We’re not currently offering training courses for winging as we’re not seeing enough demand to make it viable.

However, we don’t know the demand levels unless people contact us! If you are interested in formal training, please submit this form so we can gauge interest:
