An introduction to windsurfing for complete beginners, covering everything you need to know to get afloat under supervision.

The course lasts for two days and will teach you the basics of windsurfing including using the right equipment. On completion of the course you should be able to windsurf to a chosen point on the water and return to where you started in light winds.

Please be aware this course requires a minimum of 2 people to run.

This course is for adults. We also run Youth Stage 1 and Stage 2 RYA windsurf courses.

Weather

Safety is our number one priority. In the event of poor weather conditions (e.g. strong winds or thunder and lightning) or other incidents we reserve the right to restrict water access to particular user groups, restrict the area available for activities, cancel sessions or close the lake. We will endeavour to give advance notice whenever possible; however sometimes decisions need to be made at short notice. If we close the lake, we will add a message to our website and endeavour to contact all customers impacted to offer the opportunity to reschedule their session or receive a refund.

Please complete your disclaimer and medical information ahead of your visit – this will be prompted through your online booking. If this information isn’t completed in advance, it can cause delays to you starting your session. This information must be completed for every person participating.
