Welcome to Youth Windsurfing
Queen Mary is part of a nationwide network of windsurfing clubs where young people aged 16 and under can get together to learn new windsurfing skills and have a laugh with their mates on the water. Since the same faces come back regularly, you’ll definitely make new friends as well.
Whatever your skill level, regular windsurfing sessions will improve your windsurfing ability very quickly. If you’ve never tried it before, you’ll have the basics mastered in no time. From first time windsurfer to a relative expert, Team15 clubs welcome all levels.
Team15 offers young people two opportunities; to be part of club sessions plus participate in the Interclub events where your team can go head-to-head with other teams in your region to decide an overall regional champion. Each club can enter the Interclub challenges with a team of up to 15 people aged 16 and under Team15!
Team 15 is open to Club Members and meet on Saturday mornings from Easter through to October. The session starts at 9.30am and you need to have your windsurfing RYA Stage 2 to join the group. QM run course and organised coaching to get you up to speed. For more information on courses click here or phone us on 01784 248881.
