The Kids & Youth Windsurf Stage 1 course is the ideal way to learn to windsurf. The combination of special light weight sails designed for kids and the shallow calm waters of Hove Lagoon mean windsurfing is fully accessible to kids as young as 8.
This course usually runs on a Monday and Tuesday. You can extend the course to include Wednesday, Thursday and Friday by adding the Kids Windsurf Stage 2 course. Add 3 extra days for £153.00, usual price £175.00, save £22.00.
Fun and at the end of the course you will be able to sail to a chosen point on the water and return to where you started in light winds.
Water confident. No previous experience required.

Changing Bookings
When you make a booking with us we assign staff and equipment to deliver the booking. That means we are unable to offer that space to anyone else.
If you cancel that space we are likely to incur a loss. We will have already made commitments to staff and we may have turned away other bookings. We are unable to get insurance that covers us for this loss.
We therefore do not offer refunds for cancellations. If we did not do this we would have to put up our prices for everyone.
Our cancellation policy applies in all circumstances including no shows, illness, relocation, transport failure and bereavement.
Course Cancellation InsuranceYou can take out insurance to cover the cost of your course against cancellation through CancelSure. Guide cost is £12 for the first £100 of cover and then £6 per additional £100 of cover.

Eddie has just returned from the 2nd day of the Stage 1 windsurfing course today . He had a fabulous time. It was fun watching him in the sunshine and seeing him progress from being a complete beginner to sailing across the lagoon on his own. Many thanks to Amber for the expert tuition. Eddie already says he wants to return for the next level. It was great fun .
