Please give details using the Google form linked below of what you would like to do. I would advise a Wingsurf Taster before diving into Wingfoiling if you haven’t done it before. On the Wingsurf session we look at how to control the wing on a beginner windsurf board; so nice and stable. If you haven’t got the controls of the wing yet this is advised. Alternatively you can book onto a Learn to Wingsurf/Improver Wingsurf lesson to make sure you’re ready to then learn how to foil. This is the ideal way to learn. This can also be done on a 1 to 1 basis rather than in a group if you want to fast track your learning.
About Paul Adams
Hi, my name is Paul Adams. I’ve been in the watersports world since 2007 teaching professionally. My passion is Windsurfing and love sharing great times on the water with friends and students. In my journey in watersports I have found many other disciplines crucial to my development and enjoyment.
I started as a trainee and then moved up to managing a centre gaining many qualifications on my journey. Including my Advanced Windsurf Instructor, Trainer (Train Instructors) and Senior Instructor, Dinghy Instructor with Multihull and Keelboat endorsement and Trainer, Windsurf and Wingfoil Instructor, Powerboat Instructor with Safety Boat, T15 Freestyle and Race Instructor. Since moving up North in 2021 I have worked as a contractor for the RYA in a Sailing Developer role. This has been fantastic as I have been able to travel around the North seeing different venues helping with development from Instructor CPD to Inspections, and much more.
I really look forward to spending more time at YDSC. See you on the water. You can contact me at .
