The Official Test Centre (OTC)

Running a centre in one of Europe's premier windsurfing locations (the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) - the host of the sailing and windsurfing classes for the 2012 Games) we house all the major windsurfing brands under one roof, making it the only centre in the world that consumers can test and compare the latest products on the market for themselves. As a result, The OTC is in a unique position to support every facet of the sport, from the consumers to the retailers and magazines, and even the brands themselves.

This week at The Official Test Centre (OTC) we were so lucky to host Sir Nicholas Mostyn a former high court judge diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021 and Jerry Collier, a retired consultant surgeon diagnosed in 2012.

They came to The OTC to get out on the water and windsurf this week, they discussed with me their experiences with Parkinson's and the benefits of exercise. They emphasise the importance of staying active, promoting initiatives like the ‘Movers and Shakers’ podcast and advocating for government action through a petition (parkypetition.com)

Simon Bornhoft Windwise windsurfing coach and Luis, Nicholas PT were also on hand to accompany Nicholas and Jerry as they ventured out onto the water.

Read this fascinating interview and don't forget to sign the petition.

The World's Biggest Windsurfing Event is over for another year, even though the wind eluded the event and the tramontane was not blowing, it did not dampen the spirits of those who gathered at Gruissan for Le Defi Wind 2025.
