a wasted morning
Just been down to croft farm for my second lesson. Thought i'd book a 9am and get it done early. Got there to find no wind at all so all I managed to do was have a coffee with the instructor Annie and talk theory. Free of charge of course! Gets that's part of windsuring, and a valuable lesson learnt...

Quick question
A friend of mine mentioned that Trench Lane, Winterbourne has a lake that might do windsurfing lessons.
Any idea if thats right or not?
Only place I know is Croft Farm in Gloucester but if there's somewhere more local it would be really useful to know.
Cheers,
Russ

Brilliant
Thanks so much, I think my plan is to have another lesson this wkd and hire all the kit. Pick the brains of the instructor as much as i can. Get some copies of Boards magazine, and probably visit Windsurfing World to see how much wetsuits cost. I'm actually just going through the purchase of a new h...

Thanks
Thank you so much for all your feedback. Really useful stuff. I'm definitely at the very first stage you mentioned, and if you are going to become an instructor then please keep me in mind. I might see if I can go and have a lesson somewhere this weekend just to keep things ticking over and progress...

hi
Hi there,
I'm a total newbie but have the bug and need some kit. Even if you don't have any left can you let me know how much you think I need to spend on second hand gear.
Don't own a single thing yet
Cheers

hi
Hi Rachael, Thanks for getting in touch. In terms of skill level I literally self taught over the space of a fortnight holiday (probably 7 sessions). I understand the basics but just need to keep doing it and pick up tips from more experienced people. I have no kit at all so would just hire, beg ste...
