Newtownards Sailing Club invites all windsurfing enthusiasts to join us for an exciting sailing event. The club boasts a vibrant community of avid windsurfers who take full advantage of the safe yet thrilling conditions on offer.
With the prevailing wind mostly on shore, our club provides the optimum safety measures, ensuring an exhilarating experience in primarily flat-water conditions. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate, we have you covered. Our bay, conveniently located beside the club, offers excellent shelter for those who are just starting to learn the basics.
But that's not all! When the tide is out, you'll be greeted by approximately half a mile of waist-deep water. This fantastic feature makes it incredibly easy to practice essential techniques such as water starting or gybing. Our windsurfers have honed their skills in this idyllic setting, and we would love for you to join them.
Communication is key in our tight-knit community. We stay connected through various channels like e-mail, Facebook, and WhatsApp. This allows us to coordinate last minute group sailings that are always full of excitement.
Additionally, we love to explore new horizons. Our windsurfing enthusiasts often plan memorable holidays to warm and windy destinations. In the past, we've embarked on thrilling adventures to places like Egypt in 2009 and 2012, as well as El Medano in 2017. These trips offer the perfect opportunity to broaden your windsurfing experiences while soaking up some sun.
Finally, be sure to mark your calendars for the Irish Windsurfing Association's Slalom events regularly hosted at our club. These exhilarating competitions showcase incredible skill and talent, and they're not to be missed.
So, if you're ready for an unforgettable windsurfing experience, join Newtownards Sailing Club for our upcoming event. Connect with fellow windsurfing enthusiasts, improve your skills, and embark on thrilling adventures. We can't wait to see you on the water!
