Leeds Based Windsurfing

 
“We’re not anywhere near the sea!” I hear you cry. It’s alright, we still manage to go windsurfing often at a local place called Pugneys Country Park. It’s down near Wakefield, easy to get to and great for those of all abilities, especially beginners. There’s even a little café to grab a hot drink from after coming off the water (hallelujah!).

When do we go? Normally on Sundays but if there is demand we can organise more sessions during the week for our keen bees. While members are encouraged to go whenever they want, if it’s a club session it is recommended you sign up for it on the official sign up link (normally at the bottom of this page) or contact a committee member.

We also do a number of club socials ranging from all you can eat meals, to Otley runs. For info on our next social check out the dates at the bottom of the page, they're fun to come to and you meet some really nice people. The Club has also been involved with Action to run volunteering sessions with local schools teaching children to windsurf which is really rewarding so if you feel like giving it a try then check out the details and link at the bottom of the page, or contact our Charities Officer Fiona for details.
 

 SWA Events and Trips

 

The SWA weekends are open to EVERYONE and are awesome, so whether you simply fancy checking out what windsurfing is about or can consistently pull off flat water front loops the get involved with the next one

Next SWA Event...

21st-23rd of October, an epic weekend away in Bude, down in Cornwall. The largest student windsurfing event of the year, one of the most fun trips ever and one of the top ten things to do before you die!

Yes it is that good. At the past AK events Leeds Windsurfing club has represented itself well with style if not grace, both on and off the water. Tickets are normally available in september so keep an eye open for more info.

Dahab Trip

This year the windsurfing club organised a summer trip to sunny Dahab, a beautiful part of Egypt that's perfect for a spot of winsurfing, and it went so well we fancy doing it again! Check out some of the photos from it below.
