A family run centre, we've been teaching down here since 1986!

Established back in Windsurfings heyday in 1986, we're still a family run centre & keeping it real today with Kitesurfing down at Camber sands.

Only a short walk from Rye centre our safe secluded coastal lake is a special place where you can have a go at watersports, or just relax with a coffee and some cake.

We offer lessons in Windsurfing, Sailing, Kitesurfing, Paddleboarding and equipment hire. It's so easy to learn watersports here with our modern light equipment and experienced instructors to help. Very different from 1986 when you had to tie the boom onto the mast!

We run kite courses at Camber Sands or Greatstone depending on wind direction, and this year Nick Pardoe has joined our team of highly qualified instructors.

Successfully completed a 2 day beginners kitesurf session on 19th & 20th August. A fantastic experience which took me from zero knowledge to standing up on a board start and I'm +50 yes old and should be taking it easy... apparently. Sam is a brilliant instructor, really chilled, very knowledgeable and expertly adapted the sessions to the weather conditions and my dodgy knees. I am definitely coming back for some follow up lessons. Thanks to all at Rye Watersports
