Windsurfing General Pre 2013

IT'S ON - THE 2011 DONEGAL WAVE CLINIC IS BOOKING!

Yes, we've sorted out enough to start taking bookings. And this time we've moved it to September so it will be a bit warmer - and hopefully a lot more windy.

  • WHEN - 19th to 24th September

  • WHERE - any beach that works, but based around the Loch Altan at Gortahork, Donegal

  • WHO - Jim Collis is available again - so expect duracell teaching

  • WHY -  because it's a class wave location and you owe it to yourself

  • HOW MUCH - £200-250 plus accommodation

  • Open to any windsurfer from anywhere

 

 

So that's the basics. Many of you will know Jim Collis and what a superb and motivating instructor he is. If there's wind and waves you can expect top tuition followed by full video analysis in the bar that evening. And if the conditions aren't kind, he won't be put off. He'll have you out on the flat water brushing up on those tacks and anything else you want to cover - which all add up to a better time on the waves when the conditions come back.

The course is suitable for any windsurfer who is comfortable water starting. Gybing and the like are good, but not essential - Jim manages to cover a wide range of abilities.

This year we need to get the hotel booked much earlier since we're running in a busier month. So we need deposits in now. After the frustration of not being able to run a longer course, this year we move back to a full week and you can expect competition for the limited number of places.

Deposits are £100 - non returnable unless the course fails to run - and should be paid to me electronically. Just drop me a line and I'll e-mail you the details.

 

There is still some variability about Saturday 24th September. This means that a further half day of coaching may be available. For this reason and until we see the numbers, the price has been set as ranging from £200 to £250. The exact price will be confirmed as soon as we can. Once again we have negotiated a fantastic deal at the Loch Altan - expect good rooms, dedicated wetsuit drying - and a breakfast to sink a fleet.

 

In past years this has proved a popular course combining excellent tuition with a week's terrific (or horrific) company. Don't miss out - book early and then tell your mates.
