This year the SWA will be taking on the National Watersports Festival on Hayling Island from the 5th-7th September 2014!!   This is the 9th edition of the largest gathering of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts on the national calendar.   Read on below to find out all about it...

The NWF is all about having fun (something we here at SWA HQ highly endorse) and the great atmosphere and unintimidating race format means any intermediate or casual windsurfer can come and participate, regardless of ability. This has led to othersports such as Kitesurfing, Kayaking and SUP all wanting to be part of the fun this year.



As always, the event will be hosted on Hayling Sea Front, the birthplace of windsurfing, at a beautiful Blue Flag Beach, with camping right on site behind the beach.
There will be a trade show with a host of sponsors exhibiting all the latest gear, with demos, pro clinics, taster sessions in kitesurfing, SUP, kayak and of course windsurfing!
The parties on Friday and Saturday night are always epic, in the large marquee on site, with live music and night-time freestyle windsurf and kite action right in front of the balcony.

There were 8000 visitors last year, and over 550 participants, so come and get involved!
