Shotwick Lake Sailing is an RYA recognised training
establishment for tuition in Windsurfing.
We are currently able to offer the ‘Start’ windsurfing
courses for adults and junior at levels 1 & 2, and we hope to
offer intermediate coaching in the near future.
Thanks to the support of Starboard and Tushingham Sails UK the
we have been able to obtain the latest equipment, giving you the
best start to your windsurfing journey!

have a selection of sails of different sizes, suited to a range
of conditions thus enabling us to accommodate you from the age
of 8 upwards as well as stable wide boards.

Windsurfing Training |
|
Both the adult ‘Start’ and Junior Level 1 & 2 courses introduce
you to the basics. We will teach you about the various items of
equipment you will be using, how to set it all up and run
through the principals and the techniques on our dry-land
simulator before gently introducing you to the water with
balance exercises, learning how to stand on the board, how to
get going, and of course how to get back safely!
All in the
sheltered inland environment of Shotwick Lake.
We will always have an Instructor on the water with you
demonstrating techniques and talking you through each element of
the course and a safety boat is always on hand.

For more advanced windsurfers we are able
to offer excellent sailing conditions.
Being situated at the head of the Dee estuary we benefit
from superb wind conditions, excellent club facilities including
changing rooms, showers, club house and often clear waters for
safe blasting. We do
operate a ‘buddy sailing’ system for safety and members may make
use of the Members Calendar on this website to indicate when
they plan to be on the water.
We also have a page on the RYA Project Windsurf website
which can be used as a forum for making plans to sail, etc.
