Promoting Regular Participation
Clubs & Membership
As with any sport, progression comes from practice and time invested. This is never more true than with windsurfing, so to make this possible, we have club nights and membership deals to make sure the sport is as accessible as possible. We always have plenty going on, so get in touch if you’d like to get involved!
Kids’ Club
OnBoard and Team 15
The OTC are proud to host Will’s Weymouth Warriors – the Team-15 Club that meet each week to go on the water. The emphasis is all about fun and enjoying your time on the water, windsurfing and improving with youths of a similar age. Racing is a great deal of fun and is practiced often, but it is not the ‘be all and end all’. If you know it is not your thing, no problem – we can encourage and progress your skills in other disciplines such as freestyle, foiling, slalom blasting or coastal/wave sailing.
- Ages: 8 – 18 years old
- Cost: £10.00 per session (£5.00 for a School Club Member)
- Days: Mondays (Tuesdays & Wednesdays added as required)
- Time: 4.00 – 6.00pm
The weekly unwind
Adults’ Evening Club
Inspired by our Team-15 Club, the adults’ evening club is very relaxed and put on specifically to get you on the water to let you unwind at the end of a long day and/or week. All that we ask is that you have a basic understanding of the sport beforehand, which can be in the form of one of our 2hr taster sessions (£49.00) booked at a time convenient for you. After that, each club session is just £15.00 for a couple of hours.
The sessions are becoming increasingly popular, so give us a quick call on 07817 717904 and let us know to expect you.
- Cost: £15 per session
- Days: Friday evenings
- Time: 5.00 – 7.00pm
Making the most of the facilities

Portland Harbour is one of the most exceptional windsurfing venues in Europe and with The OTC, windsurfing is now represented as it deserves to be within the Academy grounds.

- Vehicle parking in the WPNSA car parks.

- Launching fees and harbour dues for the year.
- 10% off windsurfing tuition from The OTC (excluding foiling).

OTC Equipment Membership:
If you’re planning to windsurf from the Academy and rent kit on a regular basis, it would be worthwhile considering being a member of The OTC as well, where you can have unlimited use of the equipment in stock. And there is A LOT of kit to enjoy, whatever the wind strength.

Over the past week we experienced some very tight racing at The IQFOIL Worlds in Sivilplana. The competition started with some less than ideal light winds on the first two days but come day three the wind was on! Awesome to see @mattyb983 claiming second spot in the men’s fleet and @islay_w and @saskiasills claiming 2nd and 3rd in the women’s. Congrats to the rest of the brits who all brought in some awesome results, many of which in the top 10! @iqfoilclass #iqfoil #portland #foil #foiling #loyaltothefoil #worlds
