The Official Test Centre
Watersports. Made Easy
Book Your Session Here
The OTC is a windsurfing, kitesurfing and stand up paddling (SUP) centre located right on the water’s edge, within the grounds of the National Sailing Academy on Portland, Dorset.
Accessible at any tide state and exposed to the best wind statistics on the south coast, The OTC has an affiliated RYA/BKSA/AALA accredited school to cater for all abilities, and has the very latest equipment on hand to test.
Windsurfing
From grass-roots, to windfoiling and hosting pro-clinics, we have every discipline and pathway in windsurfing covered. Whatever your level, come and get on the water with us at our RYA accredited school.
Kitesurfing
We are a BKSA accredited kitesurfing school and use the latest equipment and teaching methods (such as BBtalkin’ headsets) to ensure your progression into this exhilarating watersport. A little bit of tuition goes a long way in kitesurfing, and we’re on hand to ensure you enjoy the sport safely.
Stand Up Paddling
Otherwise known as SUPing, this is as diverse a watersport as they come! We can provide entry level tuition to get you going, making the most of the sheltered coves and corners in our vicinity. Alternatively we have plenty of SUPs (and sit-on kayaks) for you to simply come along and hire.
Onewheel
We are proud to have been the very first Onewheel stockist in the UK, having worked with Future Motion since 2016. We have the very latest Onewheels and accessories in stock, and on demo in the safe location in front of the centre. Our instructors have been riding Onewheels since the original and will be on hand to help get you experience the most exhilarating ride on land!

For all your equipment needs and advice, visit our online shop. We regularly test the very latest goodies available, including electric land-transport options for when the conditions on the water aren’t favourable!
