L1 - Start Windsurfing LESSONS

When you decide to give windsurfing a go, it is so important that you take a few windsurfing lessons to get you on the right path from the outset.

We have a total roadmap of routines that will go from total beginner to advancing sailor, as the core movements will always be the same.

We’ve delivered these same routines to hundreds of people over the years and have had huge success with everyone, be they kids or adults.

What's it like windsurfing on the Sea

Seriously, get on board now and you’ll never look back with windsurfing taking you around the world. This short video shows you a sunny, windy day at Bracklesham in flat water on my wave board.

L3 CHALLENGE Windsurfing

L3 - Challenge Windsurf Coaching

Where you go with your windsurfing is really down to you, but we’ll help you every step of the way. 

If you’re moving into footstraps and harness or trying to carve gybe, let’s get on the water together and get you where you need to be.

Windsurfing is one of those sports, where you never stop learning and every time you head out the conditions vary and change how you sail, so you’re going to need to put the work in.

These sessions can be run using your own kit or ours and we’ll look for windier conditions, either in the harbour or in open sea, but this is down to you as our advanced courses are totally unique.

Where Our windsurfing Lessons Run?

A great location for our learner windsurfing lessons is Prinsted in Chichcester Harbour, whilst our more advanced sessions can take place in Bracklesham or Hayling Island. 

Our windsurfing lessons vary depending on the level of sailor and style of sailing. If it’s flat water for beginner or intermediates then we’d favour the harbour, but if you’re look to advanced into open water and waves, then we head out to Bracklesham or Hayling Island.
