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 coaching and training sessions help you to get the very best from your time on the water. Focussing on technique, even at the very beginner levels really helps you to build strong core skills and quickly drives your skillet up.

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.

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.

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.

We teach and Coach, but how do they differ

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.
