Our RYA Windsurfing courses allow students to learn the fundamental skills of windsurfing and work towards their RYA Stage 1 and Stage 2 certificates. Taught as four half-days, we would expect students to obtain their Stage 1 after the first four days and then start working towards their Stage 2 certificate in a subsequent 4 half-days.

The RYA Stage 1 Windsurfing course is a fantastic introduction to windsurfing for kids – the RYA describe it as “All fun, no theory. Get on the water and discover windsurfing” – this embodies the course perfectly. The aim of the game is to get your kids loving a new sport and feel the thrill and satisfaction of windsurfing.

On the course, students will learn the basics of windsurfing, how to control the board and how to steer – with the aim being that at the end of the course students can sail to a chosen point on the water and return to their starting point afterwards. The course is mostly practical, with almost no theory – we want everyone to fall in love with the sport!

The RYA Stage 2 Windsurfing course follows on from Stage 1 and develops the foundational windsurfing knowledge taught previously. At the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of how windsurfing works and have better control of the board and sail.

On the course, students will learn an understanding of tacking and gybing and use these skills to make progress both upwind and downwind. This is one of the keys to safe, independent windsurfing and is incredibly satisfying once mastered. As with all our teaching, the course is mostly practical – we want this course to nurture a love with the sport!

We provide all safety equipment, and can provide wetsuits if needed. Your students will need appropriate secure footwear (trainers that you’re happy to get wet or wetsuit shoes/boots) and plenty of water, suncream and lunch! More information will be sent once you’ve booked as part of the pre-course information booklet!
