Grant funding success has enabled the Sailing Club to buy new paddle boards.
Our first paddle boards arrived at the start of June. The paddle boards come with beginner windsurf rigs so we can also offer windsurfing.
We are running half day low tide Paddle Board lessons and Windsurfing taster sessions from the end of June. Arnside offers an ideal in location where to learn paddle boarding as at low tide the water is shallow enough to stand up in. Paddle Boarding is easy to teach whilst maintaining social distancing. The lessons cost £25 per person (members £20).

The paddle boards are great way of enjoying the estuary on a sunny day at low tide. When not being used for training, they can be used by members free of charge. With membership fees of only £70 a year for a family, Arnside Sailing Club is an excellent place to start paddle boarding.
Funding for the paddle boards has come from
Arnside-Silverdale Grant Fund
Cumbria Community Fund
Walney Extension Community Fund
