Learn to Sail and Windsurf (10-15yrs)

Duration: 5 Days

Course Aim: RYA Stage 1, RYA Start Windsurfing

Minimum Standard: None

This exciting and action-packed week is ideal if you want to learn the basics of both sailing and windsurfing.

For half of your week you will learn to sail Toppers or Picos, rigging your boat, doing land drills and then onto the water learning to turn your boat around by tacking and gybing. You’ll soon be able to sail around simple courses and we’ll introduce you to some fun racing.

Following on from sailing we’ll get you hooked on the thrills of windsurfing. Starting off with some simulator sessions and using specialist equipment you will be amazed at just how quickly you can learn the basics, and there’s a great sense of achievement to be had once you can control your board.

By the end of the five days you’ll have covered the basics of both activities.
