Wind

Get on the water with our weekly wing and windsurf lessons at The Watersports Academy!

These lessons are open to women and the LGBTQ+ community. We welcome all ages (18+), backgrounds and abilities however these lessons are best suited to beginner and intermediate level riders. If you are more advanced but still want to benefit from our community, you can come along to rent kit or meet us on the water if you have your own. 

Each week, we will teach either winging or windsurfing, we will choose the activity best suited to the conditions and let you know 4 days in advance of the lesson. Unfortunately, weather forecasts are never 100% accurate so we may have to adapt the plan on the day.

In the event of no wind, we will use it as an opportunity to teach you important theory topics to help with your progression whilst also getting out on the water, either kayaking or paddle boarding.

In extreme weather e.g lightening, we will be unable to get out on the water. An alternative plan will be made - we can use this time for further theory lessons or just enjoy a social at a local cafe.

These lessons start at 10am so please ensure you arrive with sufficient time to get into your wetsuit, complete a waiver (on your first visit) and make payment. If you are going to be late, you can use the group chat to let us know and join us on the water when you arrive.

After the lesson, there is the option to join us for a tasty treat and social. This is a great way to share excitement and reflect on the lesson, whilst forming a deeper sense of community with fellow Water Babes.

The Watersports Academy can provide a wetsuit, boots and buoyancy aid. They also have changing rooms, showers and lockers on site.

Sessions are £20pp and can only run with a minimum of 2 students booked on. Please ensure you confirm your space in the group chat before attending and then make payment on the day. Lessons are limited to 4 for winging and 6 for windsurfing. 

If you have any questions please get in touch on social media or email water-babes@hotmail.com and hopefully we can see you on the water soon.
