lessons NEAR PORTSMOUTH

Portsmouth is a great destination for the water, but we're so much better for windsurfing lessons

Surfs SUP Watersports run the best windsurfing lessons around Portsmouth for all levels of sailor.

With a long maritime history, Portsmouth is known for many many famous naval successes, but it’s not so well known for windsurfing, and this is where we can help. Our windsurfing lessons run in Chichester Harbour and Bracklesham Bay, which is just a short car or train ride from Portsmouth.

Where can you windsurf around portsmouth

There are a few watersports centres in Portsmouth all of whom  offer basic group sessions, but do bear in mind that they’re often run by seasonal staff who don’t specialise or have as much experience as our small dedicated team.

Portsmouth, being a harbour is more geared towards sailing and boats so it’s not that well known for windsurfing mainly because it is such a busy waterway and tidal.

Quite a few people windsurf at Hill Head, with many wing foilers who also sail there. In my experience, this is an ok place to sail , but the water gets really choppy as you’re right in the middle of the solent and a lot of water is moving. You also don’t find waves here.

Why should you come to bracklesham bay or chichester harbour for lessons

Windsurfing in the Portsmouth area is quite limited due to boat traffic and tides, so it makes a lot of sense to come over to see us as we have so much more available for beginner to advanced sailing.

You will find more options such as bigger sailing areas, less boat traffic and all round more options at most tide states alongside the highly skilled instructors.

Places like Hill Head can get really choppy compared to our selective sailing spots in Chichester Harbour for beginners and then our amazong home beach in Bracklesham Bay for more advanced sailors.

so why join us for lessons
