Burton Sailing Club At Foremark Reservoir

NWF Windsurfing Club of the Year 2018!

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all new members of our windsurfing family.

We have enjoyed another fantastic year with our junior windsurfers. Not only have our Team15 club members achieved zone squad selection but also recorded excellent results in both regional and national championships! Well done to you all!

During the summer of 2019 we were introduced to the exciting world of 'Foiling' with many of our windsurfer taking their first flight. With such a positive uptake, we are looking to expand further on this with foiling clinics already planned for early 2020.

Having been awarded the prestigious title of NWF windsurfing club of the year 2018 we have no intention of resting on our laurels!

Our dedicated team of windsurfing instructors and volunteers have big plans to expand our windsurfing provision and coaching sessions at the club during the forthcoming year.

Over the past couple of years, we have run a number of very successful windsurfing taster sessions, which were fully booked and really enjoyed by those who took part. As a result of the success of these, the Club has now invested in more windsurfing equipment which will enable us to offer a wider range of windsurfing training for both adults and juniors.

Wind foiling! - exciting times ahead for our junior windsurfers

You may have seen some of our junior windsurfers flying around the reservoir recently.

Under the guidance of new club member and windsurfing coach Max Bushell, some of our members have really taken to windfoiling and are rapidly becoming quite competent in a range of conditions, often reaching exhilerating and adrenaline inducing speeds over the water!

From complete beginner, through to T15 junior race team to British sailing team our windsurfers go from strength to strength, Windsurfing and Windfoiling has become a real growth area of the club in recent years, thanks to the support and dedication of our windsurf instructors and support team. We are hoping to introduce more windsurf tuition and coaching at all levels in the future.

Of course, its not all about racing around at breakneck speed! We have many windsurf members that prefer just a pleasant afternoon on the water in more relaxing conditions. Thats the beauty of the sport, it can be as energetic or relaxing as you wish it to be!
