The
best kept secret in the North-West ! |

We are a large, active fleet of windsurfers with a broad spread of ages,
equipment, abilities and interests. Some of us have families and regularly bring our
children up to the club. Some of the children are getting too good and starting to win
races !
The emphasis is on having fun both on and off the water. Social events are organised and
occasional trips to other locations, particularly if the water is being used for an open
event (when free sailing is restricted).
We operate a
buddy
sailing policy to ensure our safety. It is easy to
arrange – just check the noticeboard for other
windsurfers' availability.
For
those of a competitive nature, the club organises racing and fleet members have achieved
excellent results in the major club events. |

Torside Reservoir runs East-West and is nearly a mile long. The lake
is a good shape for practising short board manoeuvres and on good days you can reach for
nearly 500 metres and get air off the chop. |

 |
Prevailing Westerly winds blow straight
down the lake and are channelled at the Easterly end providing a great place for experts
to refine their skills while the bay provides a safe area for learning.
There
is a large grassy area for rigging up and equipment can be unloaded directly from the car.
