Training future windsurfing champions.

Our activity centres have been the foundation for entry level windsurfers to gain valuable skills whilst progressing onto professional careers in windsurfing. Izzy Hamilton is a windsurfing pro who started windsurfing at our Tamar Lakes Centre near Bude. She stated “I started windsurfing at Tamar Lakes after moving to Cornwall in 2000. I enjoyed playing with my friends sailing, raft building, canoeing and some windsurfing! Some instructors encouraged me to join the zone squad and within a year I qualified for the National Team. I finished second in two Junior Worlds in 06 and 08 and won the National Championships on 3.5,4.5,5.5,6.8 and 7.8m in consecutive years!”
