Level 1 - Start Windsurfing £150.00 (2 days)
This is the first stepping stone into the exciting sport of windsurfing. The aim of the course is to introduce students to sailing around a small course in light winds. During the course you will be introduced to the equipment and its component parts. Then, having been shown how they work, it's onto the water to practise. The practical elements are backed up with relevant theory.

Intermediate Windsurfing  £150.00 (2 days)
The intermediate windurfing course is for people wishing to develop past level 1. The course has been designed around a formula that will help you progress rapidly in all aspects of windsurfing.
