Hi All,
I am looking to come down to south coast for a day to windsurf. I have never done it in the UK and do not have any equipment at all, apart from shorts

I windsurf at intermediate level but on flat water only. I would say I need about 130litre board and the rest accordingly.

Can you please suggest me where I could hire equipment for a day/half day without getting ripped-off? I am looking to come on Sat/Sun to Brighton or Poole.

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated!

A little further on from Pool over in Weymouth is the superb OTC who probably have the biggest hire fleet in the UK - uk.otc-windsurf.com/

For Poole try - www.poolewindsurfing.co.uk/windsurf-hire/

or the guys at H20 - www.h2o-sports.co.uk/item.asp?P_ID=495&P...&name=Equipment-Hire

Not sure about hire options at Brighton but I think Hove lagoon is the only option.
