– Authored by Keith Atkinson Windsurfing UK is super stoked to announce a brand new online series featuring former Formula World Tour podium chaser and current UK slalom warrior Keith Atkinson. Keith, born in Kent UK, saw his early years spent watching his father windsurfing. Once he was strong enough to hold a sail (6yrs) his father, David, taught him the beginnings […]
Words; Annette Kent Pics: Kent family Annette Kent has pretty much dominated ladies longboard racing in the UK for the last eight years, with considerable success prior to this. Showing no signs of slowing down we caught up with this longboard lady for a chat. Windsurfing beginnings My windsurfing beginnings started in the eighties. When I was 19 I bought […]
After many hours of frustration searching the web trying to find information about windfoiling Romain Jourdan decided to start Windfoilzone.com, a website dedicated to foil windsurfing and partner of Windsurfing UK Magazine. ‘I was sick of looking through forums and many websites with only titbits and small pieces of information about windfoiling. I understood that there may be a need […]
It’s no secret that we’ve had one of the coldest starts to spring (official) this year. With the recent dubbed ‘Beast from the East’ weather phenomenon hitting UK shores, bringing super frigid winds and snow, there were a few hardy souls ready to brave the conditions and get their windsurfing fix. Check out the vid from Lukadventure Media on YouTube.
Words: Mic Brignall Pics: Lawrence Sinclair Regular WSUK contributor talks about the merits of windsurfng back in UK waters and not just aboard on your holibobs. Skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding: these sports all have something in common (and it’s not just the letter S!). Supposedly their heyday has been and gone – some say the same as windsurfing.

Both S’s have produced a number of instruction articles during the past 12 months, covering all those important windsurfing areas from beginner fundamentals on through into intermediate/advanced techniques.

Words: Mic Brignall Pics: Lauren O’Dwyer Buckland (Capture Photography), Nadine Moore, Maddie Day, Sally Reynolds, Ellen Rachel Waite This is the tale of my worst windsurfing day, ever. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. A concoction of teenage idiocy, annoyance and over-confidence played big roles in what happened, and I will never make any of these mistakes again…maybe… It […]
Words: Olli Anderson Pics: Florian Ragossnig Greece’s infamous Meltemi wind is a constant attraction during summer months when it really ramps up. With clockwork consistency it blows across the warm waters of the Aegean Sea, buffeting the assorted islands and making them an enticing prospect for many a windsurfer looking to get away for a spot of salty escapism. Kefalos, on […]
Words and pics: James Jagger Here at WSUK we love to highlight those helping to spread the good word of windsurfing. This doesn’t just mean riders themselves, as can be seen with our second windsurfing photographer profile in the form of south coast based James Jagger. (You can read about Cornish lens man Joe Cockle here). As much as windsurfing […]
Words: WSUK As much as many would think windsurfing isn’t just about the obvious disciplines of race, wave, freestyle and freeride. For sure these areas of the sport are very much alive and kicking but aren’t the be all and end all. And everyday riders are only too aware of this. (All summer we saw evidence of sailors looking to […]
