the setup
The school setup
We run a mobile setup using various locations, so we can maximise on conditions.
It may be we aim for flat water or for more experienced sailors we head to the beach front, but that’s down to you.
The kit we use
We’ve chosen boards from the Starboard range not only for their amazing build quality and performance, but also their eco credentials.
The Starboard Rio and Go Windsurf boards deliver great performance but also help speed up the learning process in those early stages.

Preferred wind speeds are between 5 and 12 knots.
More advanced courses may take place on the open sea in stronger winds.
