We take pride in being an independent windsurf school that can offer small group tuition to a very high teaching standard, with lots of time for each student. Our business is built largely on word of mouth & repeat students who love their first beginner's lessons and keep coming back to us, using our windsurf hire scheme to practice the basics and then taking more lessons to move up through the various levels of windsurfing.

What You Will Learn:

You start your Beginners Windsurfing Lessons with a dry land simulator session to run through the basics & gain ‘muscle memory’ ready for when you are trying to re-create the moves out on the water.

The Taster Windsurfing Lesson starts with learning the names of some essential equipment parts, what they do & how to carry everything safely in the wind. You learn how to get up & balanced on the board into a ‘start position’, make a 180-degree turn, how to get into a ‘sailing position’ & even touch on a little bit of steering. This course gets you up & going, having fun windsurfing back & forth!

The Full Beginners Windsurfing Course builds on the basics to give you the complete set of skills needed to be safe enough out there on your own. You start with a refresher of the basics, including how to steer around your fellow windsurfers & eliminate sideways drift, then you move on to learn how to windsurf towards the wind with a faster turn called a ‘tack’. Next is how to sail away from the wind & do a turn called a ‘gybe’. Combining all these new skills we teach you how to navigate your way from any point A to any point B, giving you the confidence that you can get yourself back to any starting point. During your beginner's windsurfing lessons we also cover how to assemble the windsurfing equipment so you are self-sufficient.

We provide courses that take place in small classes of 4-5 people, with course duration options depending on your needs.
