Description
The NUS Windsurfing Club consists of three groups to cater to windsurfing enthusiasts of all levels; a main organizing committee, a recreational group and a competitive racing team.

The main committee consists of 15 dedicated individuals who organize various activities and events all year round for the NUS student population. With this, we hope to promote windsurfing, both as a leisure activity and a competitive sport, targeted at individuals who take interest in water sports. Our annual activities include the December Training Camp, NUS Internal Race, NUS Windsurfing Competition and the Inter-tertiary NUS Windsurfing Championships.

For individuals who just want to surf leisurely during the weekends to de-stress, we also have the recreational group which meets regularly at PA Water Venture East Coast to windsurf together. Windsurfing together has its advantages; as we can look out for one another while at sea and also exchange pointers on how to windsurf better. Recreational sessions are presently held on weekend afternoons. In addition to that, we also organize Level 1 courses and introductory sessions to introduce the sport to more people, information of these can be found at our website.

More proficient windsurfers can even join us when our race training starts after the exams are over, beginning with the December Training Camp. This group will concentrate on racing techniques and skills, bringing together the technical and tactical aspects of racing. For these sessions, we are have engaged an ex-national coach who will help us train up for the series of competitions in February and these include the NTU Open and the biggest tournament in the tertiary windsurfing fraternity, the Inter-Tertiary Windsurfing Championships. With such a wide variety of activities, the NUS Windsurfing Club hopes to reach out to windsurfers of all levels, bringing them together in their area of interest and thus making our years in NUS a more rewarding and enriching one. We hope that you, too, will join us in enjoying the sun, the sand and the sea!
