  • Group Tours or Semi Private Sup Tours can run and be as adventurous as you like. We also take trips off the sea front at Bracklesham.

Wing sup lessons get you started!
It is important to understand the fundamentals, of any windsport, so you can progress quickly, which is why we’ve developed our 2 programs.
  • 2.5 hour wind sup taster session is aimed at those who have some windsport experience, especially windsurfing or kiting.
  • 4 hour wind sup lesson is for those with no windsport experience, so we go into more detail about understanding wind and this environment.
All of our sessions run in flat water with winds from 8 knots upwards.
What kit do we use
We’ve tried many types of boards to give the best experience and landed on our windsurf boards that are stable and have great upwind capabilities. This means you can focus on the wing and new ideas, over trying to balance, which really improves the learning speed. We also use the BBTalkin intercoms to chat with you, as the wind can make it difficult to shout instructions once on the water. This is a headset attached to a helmet, so you have nothing more to do other  than listen and reply.
Where do we Wing SUP and Foil
Surfs SUP Watersports is based in Bracklesham, with our mobile facility working in Chichester Harbour, Poole, Pagham, East Wittering and Hayling Island. Many of our wing sup lessons are run in Chichester Harbour, which offers flat water and clean wind, affording us a safe environment.
