If you’ve not tried windsurfing seriously, here is your chance to taste it free. A 3-hour taster session of windsurfing with help of a qualified RYA instructor is being offered by the Trent Windsurfing Club, which is in Long Eaton Country Park, during the weekend of 9th & 10th August.
Visitors to participate in these taster sessions will be provided the required kit, that includes a life jacket and wetsuit. The sessions have a rescue boat in support also. Participants need only bring just the swimming costume, change of clothing and shoes that can get wet. The club runs regular fortnightly sessions. It has beginner training, fun races, social events and BBQs. Regular sessions run from May to October.
The taster sessions held last in July, proved very popular. Many participants have since joined as members or signed-up for a full RYA course. Taster session spaces need to be booked ahead, as they are allocated on first come first served basis. For more details go to their website- trentwindsurfingclub.co.uk or visit www.rya.org.uk.
