Watersports lessons, clinics, courses, instruction and coaching
Welcome to Surfs SUP Watersports Centre, West Sussex
Surfs SUP Wastersports have been a professional provider delivering Watersports lessons, clinics, courses, instruction and coaching for over 20 years.
Our main base is in Bracklesham Bay, West Sussex, where we run a lot of our improver and advanced sessions for windsurfing and winging or open water paddling. We then have spots around Chichester Harbour and the Witterings, where we run a lot of our beginner wing and windsurf lessons along with Chichester Canal for our main beginner paddleboard lessons.
Our paddle board lessons offer total beginners, kids and families the best start, whilst advancing paddlers really get pushed to improve.
Downwinding gives you the chance to connect with wind and waves, learning to harness their power and enjoy the glide.
Who will you be training with?
For 35 years, head coach Ian Phillips has travelled the world and experienced some of the most amazing places in pursuit of wind and waves. Windsurfing, sup surfing and now foiling and paddle boarding, Ian holds RYA and ASI qualifications for coaching, whilst having a really high personal level of skills that he’s super keen to share.
Our seasonal instructors are all highly experienced and bring a huge amount amount of enthusiasm and skills that 100% guarantee you’re going to get the best instruction and experience on the water with us.
Wing sup is just the beginning for those looking to wing foil. Our sessions will teach you to manage the wing and board.

Where do we run our Watersports Coaching and Lessons?
Aside of our beginner paddleboard lessons that always runs at Chichester Canal, we tend to run a flexible ship that is based on the conditions and tides.
Chichester Harbour has some amazing spots, depending on wind direction and tidal state, that really offer the perfect conditions and learning environment for both paddling and windsports, whilst Bracklesham Bay and the Witterings can offer up some amazing conditions.
Watersports bases around CHICHESTER
This map shows the spots we regularly use around Chichester Harbour and Bracklesham, which is about 2 hours from London. We’re on Google Maps if you need to navigate or see our amazing reviews.
We’ve got you covered no matter what you want to do. Our wing surfing and foiling and windsurf lessons happen in the harbour, whilst our more advanced sessions can happen down in Bracklesham or the Witterings, be it West Wittering or East Wittering.
Coaching and Teaching
We provide coaching and teaching sessions both of which deliver amazing results, but run very differently. The goal of our sessions is to help our clients improve their skills, be it from total beginner to an already experienced windsurfer, winger or paddleboarder.
The Main Focus
When we teach, we’re delivering a new set of skills and ideas to someone with no experience or existing knowledge, whereby coaching helps people to improve their existing skills.
Previous experience
Our coaching sessions are very much focussed on you and your previous experience and focusses or growth and change.
Owning your journey
During basic teaching sessions we take full responsibility on how we deliver the course, but when coaching we look to work with you and mould the session to suit.
Communication
We tend to blend our ideas here, always getting feedback, using the BBTalkin headsets.
Our Role
As a watersports teacher, we provide the instructions and steps for each move and action, but when coaching people we’re looking at your current skills and working with adaptive ideas.
