Whether you are returning to university following a well-earned summer break, new to the scene and wondering what you are going to do with your Freshman year; or a graduate who just simply cannot let go of university life!....The SWA has one hell of a year in store for you!

 

In time-honored tradition, we will be starting the SWA year off in style with the worlds biggest event of its kind...Aussie Kiss! Now in its fourteenth year, the event is once again kicking off in Bude Holiday Resort by night and at Roadford Lake by day. The aim of the event is to get more student windsurfers on the water than anywhere else...in the world! There will beginner tuition, racing, live music, parties and two nights accommodation. Whether you have been to Aussie Kiss before or not...this is one weekend you won't want to miss!

 

Once Aussie Kiss has worked its magic and got you begging for more...we kick off the SWA series with 6 events hosted by student windsurf clubs from universities all over the country. With ticket prices sometimes as low as £10 for two nights accommodation, two parties, two days windsurfing and breakfast...we really put the 'student' in Student Windsurfing Association! The series includes 3 Wave events (coastal) and 3 Core events (inland lakes) and we offer prizes for podium positions at each event as well as for the overall series winners at the end of the year...

 

Which leads nicely on to the final event of the year: SWA BUCS National Championships! That's right, we have a BUCS event too! Hosted at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (that's the one where they held the Olympic sailing events!), we encourage all student windsurfers of every ability to compete for real-live BUCS points!

 

And believe us when we say that in the SWA, points really do mean prizes! With an amazing array of industry sponsors, the SWA regularly provides winners of the annual series with prizes such as brand new boards, sails, wetsuits, holidays, professional RYA courses and sports apparel. Last year, the SWA gave away more £20,000 worth of prizes to podium winners!
