The 1 day Dorset RYA advanced windsurfing course in Portland Harbour is designed to help you master dynamic transitions, advanced planing techniques, the waterstart and the infamous planing carve gybe.
Each skill is broken down and simplified, backed up with the relevant theory. Waterstarting, carve gybing and other advanced skills such as advanced carving and bump and jump, are taught as part of the course, with guidance for an ongoing learning experience.
The pre-requisite for the course is that applicants should be at a competent intermediate level, with the ability to sail in footstraps and harness in planing conditions.
Everything is included in the cost of the course, from kit hire (including a wetsuit) and tuition, to free parking in the car park and use of the National Sailing Academy’s facilities. There is also a café onsite for refreshments.
The Osprey Training Centre is the recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) windsurfing Training Centre affiliated to The Official Test Centre. It provides courses consistent with the RYA Windsurfing Scheme syllabus.
The 1 day Dorset RYA advanced windsurfing course in Portland Harbour will have a maximum of 6 participants per instructor. The OTC reserve the right to postpone the course to account for conditions. That said, the location of the centre and the versatility of Portland Harbour as a teaching arena means that we very rarely need to reschedule.
