I have been teaching quite a few kids (between 10 and 13 years old) to windsurf at Sanctuary Point this summer with great results. I have been using my own children's gear to do this. I am finding that the children are progressing really fast and are ready for their own equipment within a couple of months. In some cases, their parents are starting to buy boards and rigs for them but there are some who cannot afford it. Others have bought a wetsuit and harness but haven't got a lot left after Christmas shopping for the rest yet. There are also more children wanting to learn than I can cater for. They are all from non-windsurfing families so far.
I thought it is worth checking if anyone has kids' boards and kids' rigs they are not using and would be happy to donate or part with for a reasonable price. Maybe I can pick up or pay the freight. If you can help, please PM me.
I guess mainly kids power rigs 2.5m to 4m and kids boards under 80 litres. Two days in a row there were a dozen kids out here. The age demographic of Sanctuary point is changing.
