Windsurfing instructors

This section is for all instructors teaching, or wanting to teach, the RYA Windsurfing Scheme. The scheme has recently been revised with the introduction of the new coaching technique, Fastfwd. As a result the instructor training programme has been updated.

Details of each level of instructor training can be found below, along with details of how to convert existing qualifications to the new scheme.

Conversion of Level 2 instructors and above
Those holding the Level 2 instructor qualification prior to the scheme review have been transferred to Intermediate planing/non-planing instructors, but must complete a conversion course before their next revalidation is due. Conversion courses will be one-day regional events organised by the Regional Development Officer (RDO) and subsidised by RYA Training. Further details are available from the instructor course dates leaflet in the link above. A list of RDOs is shown on the last page of the leaflet.
