Recreational short-boarding

The windsurfing section at HSSC offers windsurfers of all abilities and ages the advantages of organised racing and open competitions whilst maintaining the freedom of turn up and go surfing whenever you want.

	Secure board and equipment storage, just 30ft from the water - no more unpacking roof racks or soggy car seats!
	Changing rooms with hot showers.
	Licensed bar and galley - beer and hot food at club prices.
	Active social side.
	Competitive racing each week on Tuesday evenings and at the weekend. Regular open meetings during the summer - why sail alone when you can sail with the best?
	Added safety of sailing with others.
	Race training courses run throughout the year.

Tuesday night is course racing night. We race anything, the most popular boards include such models as Mistral One-Design, Equipe II, New Olympic RSX etc. and limit the sail size to 9.5. The first start is 6pm and we try to fit in 4 races which tend to include 2 beats, 2 reaches and a run, and categorise the results depending on equipment used and age. Sunday mornings at 11am is course racing as well. It is the same as Tuesdays but when we can we make the courses bigger.

Sunday afternoons is slalom racing. Anything can be used with a sail size limit of 10. The first start is 2pm if there is enough wind. We will try to fit in 7 races which include 2 reaches and categorise the results depending on equipment used and age.

At the end of the year trophies will be awarded to categories and age groups. Come along one day and see us. New windsurfers are actively encouraged to join, taking advantage of our annual beginners courses in the safety of Dover Harbour and run by a team of qualified instructors trained by the Club.
