The Bluecrush Extreme Windsurf Academy

Congratulations, you've just taken the first steps towards getting started in the world's best watersport! Forget any preconceptions you might have about it being difficult or not for you.

Torquay is the perfect windsurf destination for beginners and experts alike and with our friendly and relaxed windsurfing instruction, our windsurfing instructors will get you up and going in no time on our cutting edge windsurfing equipment from JP, Neilpryde, Nash, etc. Windsurfing lessons are available for all levels and hire alone is also possible for those with previous experience.

The sport has improved dramatically over the years, and is now easier and more fun than ever. Modern teaching methods involve starting you off on a huge stable platform with which to master the basics, and only then moving you on to shorter, more maneuverable boards when you're ready for it.

A weekend under the guidance of a Bluecrush windsurfing instructor will see the complete novice progress to the point where they are happily skimming back and forth in relative control, pulling off respectable tacks and gybes and remaining relatively dry.

Perhaps you are already a windsurfer but need help on beachstarts or need to improve your technique or rigging skills? If so, why not book a windsurfing tuition session at Bluecrush, where you get expert windsurfing teaching. The windsurfing courses we offer are featured below, you can also find Frequently Asked Questions below.

If you would like to talk with our windsurfing instructors as to what course would be the most suitable for you, call Tony at Bluecrush on 01803 203033. Or why not buy a Windsurfing Tuition Gift Voucher as a gift, call 01802 203033 or email lessons@bluecrush.biz

 

Due to the regeneration of the harbour, the Windsurf Academy is unable to run RYA courses, but we hope to continue with these in 2008. Will also having to delay our other windsufing courses until further notice.

Bluecrush Extreme Windsurf Academy Frequently Asked Questions

Who can learn to Windsurf?

The only time windsurfing is difficult to learn is when people try to learn on the wrong equipment or in the wrong conditions. With the right equipment, most people are comfortably sailing around after a two-hour lesson. Others say you need to be strong to windsurf. Muscling it will get you nowhere, it is a finesse sport, where girls can windsurf as easily and as well as, men. Or maybe you think you have to be young and athletic to windsurf. Hardly! Sure, many windsurfers look very athletic, that's because windsurfing can be great exercise. Windsurfers come in all shapes and sizes, and certainly all ages.
