Club training day with
Jim Collis

Trent Windsurfing Club is a small active club based in Long Eaton Country Park, in close proximity to both Nottingham and Derby.

Being within easy reach of the M1 & M42, the Club is in an ideal location for East Midlands’ windsurfers. We have access to two small lakes and are open all year round, sailing from dawn to dusk.

So whilst venues like Carsington and Rutland  are great for a day out, and many club members will organise trips at weekends, if you just need a short fix after work, you will surely find others have the same idea whenever it is windy.

We have an active membership and as well as regular sailing days, the club also runs social nights, training days, gear demo days, trips to fabulous foreign windsurfing spots, club days out to coastal locations and most importantly a great welcome!. The club also has a Starboard Tandem for the use of all members.

Some of our beginners hire gear and the guys that learnt on it.

New members of all abilities are most welcome, we do not impose minimum standards. Annual membership fees at £55 for adult membership and £20 for juniors are very reasonable indeed compared with similar clubs. Full details are available from the menu above.

We are not able to offer lessons for the raw beginner, we leave that to the dedicated RYA training centres around the area like Carsington and Rutland, however we do offer a very inexpensive way into the sport with our hire scheme. See the Links section on the left  to get more information on these centres.

The Club Tandem Board. Available for all members to use.

We have a fleet of 3 beginner boards equipped with 2 sails to accommodate differing wind conditions. The sets come with all the necessary accessories to get you onto the water quickly and easily, all you will need to provide is a wetsuit, a roofrack and a buoyancy aid.

The cost is very attractive at only £40 per month, just over £1 a day. Fully comprehensive insurance is included free as part of the club new membership package. There are no restrictions on where you use the gear.
