Trent Windsurfing Club, based at Long Eaton,
between Nottingham and Derby, are launching a new scheme in the
run up to National Windsurfing
Week, May 3-11, to make it easier
for beginners to get into windsurfing quickly and cheaply on up
to date kit.

The club has already seen an increase of interest in membership over the last
12 months, prompted by their new web site, so to try and convert that interest
into active participants the club has bought two new F2 Discoveries for new members
who may not have their own equipment yet. The scheme allows beginners to rent
a board and rig for their own exclusive use and as soon as they have progressed
enough to need their own intermediate kit they will simply return the F2 Discovery
to the club.
Club chairman Clive Brown (pictured left) said: "We have been
getting quite a few inquiries via the website from people who want
to give windsurfing a try, or who have tried it on holiday, but
they are worried about shelling out money on a new board. These
Discoveries will get them out on a safe learner board for a few
months until they are ready to move up to the next level. We hope
it will attract more members and give windsurfing a welcome boost
in this part of the world."
Trent Windsurfing Club has an active membership and offers sailing throughout
the year and is especially convenient for a quick sail after work. As well as
regular sailing days, the club also runs social nights and an annual end of season
trip to Club Vass...
The boards were provided by Dave Nobles, the club's local windsurfing shop. Pictured
