Words: WSUK Pics: JP/Pryde/Thorsten Indra As individuals we love to pigeonhole stuff, give everything a label and box it all up neat and tidy. Windsurfing’s no different. In the past terminology such as wave-slalom, convertible freeride and so on have been used when categorising kit. These days you’re more likely to hear freestyle wave or slalom muttered on beaches.

Windsurfing has a long and rich history with colourful characters coming to leave their mark on the sport and shaping its future development. Not only that but windsurfing has a significant pedigree as far as equipment goes. In the first of a new series we’ll be taking a walk down memory lane and re-visiting some vintage windsurfing gear that still […]
Words and pics: Tom and Ollie Pidden From December ’16 – January ’17 Tom and Ollie Pidden left the UK and travelled to Margaret River, Western Australia.

Words and pics: Windsurfing UK We’re a funny bunch us windsurfers.

Checklist as follows (for the P family at least). […]
Words: Gregg Dunnett Pics: Olly Wood Probably one of the most amusing event write ups we’ve read. Author, windsurfer and stand up paddler Gregg Dunnett ran us through how the Avon Beach Wave Classic 2016 went down. A good read, even if we do say so ourselves! ‘When I agreed to Clyde Waite’s request to write an article about the […]
Words and pics: WSUK Is there anything more fulfilling than spending time afloat with your kids? As avid windsurfers we love nothing more than our offspring showing interest in what we do for recreation. Not all kids get it, we’ll admit, but those that do will no doubt spend hours afloat with mum, dad or both. We especially love it […]
