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.
