| Newtownards Sailing Club
has a thriving band of around 70 windsurfers who sail regularly in
the safe but interesting windsurfing conditions at the club. The prevailing
wind is on shore which makes for excellent safety while wave conditions
can often be pretty good. For beginners and intermediates, there is
a bay beside the club with excellent shelter while learning the basics.
And when the tide is out, there is approximately half a mile of waist
deep water which makes for easy practising when learning to waterstart
or gybe! |
|
| The
windsurfers keep in touch by e-mail, sometimes organising last minute
mass sailings eg 2 days after Christmas (boy was it cold). They
also run holidays to warm and windy places. BEGINNERS From Spring to Autumn, Tuesday night is beginners night at the club. With full rescue boat cover, all beginners (and many intermediates) are encouraged to go out and have a go. Lessons are available on demand, including for non-members. Approximately every other Saturday morning there are further lessons, again open to non-members. Call Lawrence Baalham on 07974 699524 or check out the Learn to Windsurf Guide at the Club by Clicking Here. The Club now has the latest Beginners Boards thanks to a grant from the Sports Council. This makes learning easier and a lot of fun. |
