With adventure sports it’s always far-flung shores and tropical reefs, but for us UK-based windsurfing fans, the party’s here. Yes, we’ve not the warmest of waters, but when the wind and the waves are this good, we keep it local.
Prevailing winds are from the west and southwest, but there are strong Arctic gusts too, giving the British coastline an all-over blast. This week is national windsurfing week, with people getting in the water from Stithians in Cornwall to Castle Semple Loch in Scotland.
Free taster sessions, reduced-cost beginner United Kingdom windsurfing courses and fun races are running all week, and the weather forecast is good for the weekend too. Wave sailing, speed sailing, racing or freestyle, we think the UK scene can rival any across the globe.
So if you know anywhere else where the wind is cranking, let us know, we can still be tempted…
While the UK is great, if you want to go away check out our windsurfing travel page for more ideas.
