So you are about to set yourself a new years resolution to get fit & stay fit!
Read on to learn how you can keep this promise to yourself…

The sport of windsurfing is a great way to give yourself a full body workout. It gradually works your muscles from your upper body right through to your legs, plus it is a great CV workout. If loosing weight is your New Years resolution then you have no worries if you take up windsurfing. Get fit & stay fit with a new sport like windsurfing.

Learning how to windsurf has become so much easier in the last few years and the progression curve is fast, making it a fantastic sport to take up as a hobby. Learn a new sport, build your fitness, socialize, have a laugh, work on your tan and feel great about yourself!

Just look at the video from the Poole Windsurfing School to see how good an outdoor summer sport it is for everyone….

Also, we have a Windsurf Photo Gallery showcasing our students learning process & the Poole Windsurfing school at the following web page:

You can get fit with windsurfing on your own or take it up as a new sport with your partner or some friends. Once you have been on a course to learn the basics you can easily rent windsurfing equipment to practice your new skills, progress with the sport and continue your new years resolution of getting fit & staying fit!

With a Full Beginners Windsurfing Course you can be up and windsurfing in no time, first getting your balance, learning how to turn around so you can come home & getting control of the equipment with some useful steering skills!

Why just go to the gym when you can get fit doing something that is fun & get yourself a tan at the same time!

Christmas is almost here & just when we are all thinking of wrapping up warm and staying inside by the fire, check out what was happening this time last year over on Maui, Hawaii….

A little bit of a different Christmas day over there!!!

If you couldn’t quite believe the surf was that good on Christmas day last year here is some more footage from that epic day…

Lets hope we get another great summer season of windsurfing conditions.
See you all in May for the start of the windsurfing season here at Poole Windsurfing.

Following all the latest event news, it seems like conditions have been tough for the top 32 windsurfers in the world at the Cabo Verde PWA Worldcup event…

Unfortunately, during yesterdays heats the wind and waves just kept dropping off & some heats ended up being cancelled.

On the plus side, this gave the pro windsurfers a chance to show off their multi talents by whipping out their surf boards and ripping up the waves at Curral Joul, whilst waiting for better windsurfing conditions.

With just one day to go, the forecast doesn’t look good with only around 9 knots of wind. Check out the following official Cabo Verde PWA Event website for full coverage of all the action so far, with photo’s, video, rider interviews and daily event summaries…

The 2011 line is our ultimate progression in CNC shape and design, with individual rockers tailored for each size and model.

Boylos is the creation of Ellie Boyle & as far as we know she is the first girl to start up a windsurf shop right here on the south coast of the UK!

To give you a little background to how Boylos came about, let’s ask Ellie a few questions…

1. What made you think starting a watersports shop was a sensible career move?
After graduating from uni I started a job for one of the top 4 accountancy firms. The idea was to work for them for a few years, save up some money, then follow my dream and start a watersports shop. However, I lasted 3 weeks. The corporate culture, the idea that money is the most important thing in anyone’s life, and the fact that it seemed accountancy was going to take over my life meaning no time for friends… no time for windsurfing!!… went against everything I believe in.

So I decided to follow my dream and start up a watersports shop. It’s hard work, long hours, exhausting at times… but I love it! The Boylo’s team is awesome – passionate, fun, enthusiastic, hardworking… I couldn’t have done this without them and their commitment goes beyond what I ever expected. I can’t thank them enough!

2. What differentiates you from other watersports shops?
As far as I know I’m the first girl to start up a windsurf shop. Boylo’s has a fresh and innovative vibe; it’s run by watersports addicts, for watersports addicts, actively pushing the brands we stock to all watersports enthusiasts out there. We get involved at events, sponsor talented windsurfers and surfers, and most of all look after our customers. You guys are our everything and we’ll bend over backwards to offer a service that exceeds expectations and most importantly gets you looking good on the water! Not only that but we have pros from around the UK working here so that you guys always have the best answers for your questions.

The stock is pretty extensive & includes all the top brands in windsurfing. Whether you are looking for a new windsurf board, sail or just a new set of harness lines Boylos has it all. The website says ‘all things water’ and they are not joking! You can find everything for all watersports on the Boylos website.

The best thing is they also have a summer sale now on….
