Get On Board With Windsurfing Taster Sessions In Havant
| Published: 1st August 2013 14:26 |
Havant Borough residents are being encouraged to get on board with windsurfing taster sessions at the upcoming National Watersports Festival on Saturday 31 August and Sunday 1 September.
Beginners (age 8 and older) will have a great opportunity to try out windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking for the first time, in the place where windsurfing was invented by Peter Chilvers in 1958.
Sessions cost £12.50 for 8-17 year olds and £20 for over 18s. Each session will include free parking, 1½ hours tuition and all equipment - including boards and wetsuits.
The sessions have been funded by Havant Borough Council, with training provided by professional coaches from OTC (Official Test Centre). The sessions are only available for Havant Borough residents and places are limited.
Councillor Yvonne Weeks, councillor responsible for Economy and Communities said: ‘The National Watersports Festival will bring people from all over the world to Hayling Island. We're proud to be able to offer these sessions to our residents to give them an opportunity to try out windsurfing and hopefully encourage them to take it up.'
