We cannot guarantee to “sign off” certificates at this level but structure the course to give as much input as we can to make you a better windsurfer.

In strong winds we use high wind coaching techniques and in light wind we concentrate on light wind freestyle and tricks to practice skills using “muscle memory”.
This course is not designed as solely a “certificated course”. The aim is to give the right coaching at the right time to improve the windsurfing and we sign off the certificate when we can. The course is like watching your favourite film, you can come on this course time and time again and will always learn something new as the conditions will nearly always be different!

Our friendly instructors will be with you every step of the way, offering clear instruction, guidance and encouragement.

Plas Menai will provide all necessary personal protective clothing including wetsuits, waterproofs, buoyancy aids and helmets.
