Advanced
As advanced windsurfers, you can competently go wherever you want to, can gybe and tack comfortably and reliably and push your windsurfing in stronger and stronger winds.
You are very welcome to come on our Chew Valley Lake Trips and we’d love you to lend a hand teaching the beginners and intermediates if you can, but you will probably want to get to the coast ASAP and blast around.
For that you are able to hire brand new 2018/2019 kit from the Official Test Centre in Weymouth. The club has got a great deal with the OTC and we can hire their kit for £50 per person per day; we will pay half of this, making the cost to you £25 per session which is an absolute bargain. Weymouth is a great place have a blast and test and develop your skills, the bay we sail in is very shallow for quite a way out, making launching and landing really easy. Weymouth is the sailing centre of the UK and one of the most reliable spots for good wind (especially when a storm is blowing through), even in the howling wind the water is pretty flat in all wind directions because the bay is protected by sea barriers.
If you have you have your own kit then you can go down whenever the wind blows, all you need to do is contact the Secretary and they’ll put you in touch with drivers to organise a lift.
At SWA Core events there are clinics to add skills to your arsenal. There is an advanced individual racing division, team racing (mixed skill teams of 3), and freestyle competitions.
At BUCS Nationals there are the same divisions.
Don’t hesitate to contact Toby Cave with any questions about the SWA and its events, Daphne Kryiakaki with any questions about The OTC and Weymouth or Martin Lemaire with any questions about Chew Valley Lake Trips and wetsuits
