Additional comments
Spray Water Sports is looking to create a vibrant youth windsurfing scene however we do not have a vast amount of equipment this is the main reason why a club has not flourished, The centre runs a youth windsurfing and sailing club within which a number or the youths would be interested in the idea of forming a club. How do you suggest we go about tackling this obstacle, are there any contacts within the RYA where funding may be available or equipment to use for training sessions or inter club events

We are the Champions!

ADOPT-A-BEACH

The Green Blue is an environmental awareness initiative by the British Marine Federation and the Royal Yachting Association. One of its aims is to educate and promote the sustainable use of coastal and inland waters by watersports participants.

Some of the initiatives have a relevance to windsurfers - especially in achieving cleaner seas and beaches.

Adopt-a-Beach is definitely relevant to T15ers, which is a Marine Conservation Society project supported by the Green Blue.
