Our windsurfing school operates in the shallow waters of Portland harbour - one of the most popular windsurfing destinations in the UK. RYA recognition means we pass standards set by the Royal Yachting Association and teach a course structure set by them. All our instructors have been trained to RYA standards.
Courses take place every day of the week from April to October. Start times are generally 10.00am and 2.00pm, although we reserve the right to cancel lessons when there is unfavourable weather or tide. We provide free, all the equipment needed to take part, you just need to bring a pair of shoes you don't mind getting wet and a towel.

Our course aims to take you through the basics and get you up and going by the end of the day. We start in the morning with a briefing at the shop in Poole, then move to a dry land location to fly kites using bar and harness. After a video training session at lunch we progress to the water experiencing body dragging and kite relaunching before actually kitesurfing.
Kite surfing lessons are run through our approved kite school in Poole Harbour.
