Bargain Buys

With a wind forecast like the one below you could think Poole Harbour had been teleported to Maui, Hawaii. The only thing missing is the warm temperatures, which is maybe why you would be better off buying a Poole Windsurfing Gift Voucher whilst staying warm & toasty this Christmas!

Don’t forget we have an amazing 2 for 1 offer on our Full Beginners Windsurfing Lessons, which is a great way to get you & a friend out there learning how to windsurf and making the most of the summer months!

Checkout this short movie from Estonian Team Slowride in Fuerteventura. Shot this summer, Estonian windsurfers Tony Mottus (JP / NeilPryde), Christofer Kalk (Fanatic / Gaastra / Maui Ultra Fins) and Sten Aava (JP / Severne) spent their summer windsurfing on the world famous island of Fuerteventura.

The movie has all the latest big freestyle moves including 900s, culos and air flakas but also some spectacular wipe outs that show just how much effort you have to put in to get this good at windsurf freestyle!

Remember, if you want to step into the world of windsurfing (or just help someone you know who loves the sport) we have just a few weeks left of our awesome 2 for 1 windsurfing lessons special offer.

Additional Days:
It will then be up to everyone what they want to do with the remaining 6 days riding. You can estimate spending £240 for 6 days lift passes, although this can be less if you ride in the same resort for more than a couple of those days or if we hit some of the lesser known resorts.

If some of us want to take a few guided days we can arrange this for a very good price.

Out of all the windsurfing brands out there we choose to use Goya Windsurfing sails. The Guru, Eclipse and FXR have such great build quality, extra little design features, cool looks and a development team headed by non other than ex world champion, Francisco Goya.

Working closely with Goya Windsurfing, we are sometimes lucky enough to get fantastic savings that we can pass on to you. The following Goya Guru, Eclipse and FXR windsurfing sails are from the 2010 season but have all the key design and build features of the current models.

Goya FXR

The FXR 6 is a 6 Batten No Cam Freeride sail that supplies the maximum of power, speed and control in the Goya Sail range. The Goya FXR design changes from size to size to suit the conditions- The larger sizes are cut for power and speed- the fundamentals of slalom and race style sailing. Lightweight, great low end power- plane early and go faster. The smaller sizes are cut to excel in high wind maneuvers, jumps and speed. The new reduced head outlines on all sizes gives a quieter, easier feeling and improved overall range. Goya FXR is the sail of choice for Designer/Rider Jason Diffin for The Gorge summers of white knuckle power, speed and jump sailing, and light wind cruising on the big boards.

Goya Eclipse

Levi Siver’s signature windsurf sail “The reason’s behind the Eclipse for me is to have a balanced low drive sail with a compact feel and short mast. I wanted a sail that could go neutral real quick but then push on the gas when I need drive in my sailing. I make sure to downhaul the sail real good to create the tension in the sail that gives it release from the top and balance in high wind conditions. We created a tight head so the sail retracts back after it releases which gives it it’s drive and balance. Now outhaul is relative to what the wind is doing. You can ride less out haul but make sure to have a good amount of down haul. The sail can touch to boom but shouldn’t be rapping the boom unless it’s 10 knot conditions.

The Goya Eclipse needs shape so if its powered 5.0 and you flatten your sail its going to feel bad so it’s better to go 4.7 and keep the shape. The Goya Eclipse has a big range from high wind control to being able to cheat with a sail size smaller because of the drive and full shape. Another trick is to move your harness lines an inch to two inches towards the clue to centralize the low drive management. So, the principle of the Goya Eclipse is to ride a smaller sail which means better style on the wave.”

Goya Guru

Effortless and easy handling makes your sessions longer. Huge wind range means more time sailing and less time rigging. Soft and flexible, forward driving and quickly neutral, the Goya Guru will take you where you want to go on the water and in the air. Just visualize what you want to do, and the guru will take you there… The Goya Guru is also an excellent choice for smaller and lighter sailors in high wind due to it’s forward stable draft, and soft, easy feel. Keith Teboul and Francisco Goya rely on the Guru to take them to a higher level with confidence, and so can you.

These prices even include FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY (Mainland UK).
