Team15 Club

Hythe & Saltwood Sailing Club is a Team15 Club, part of a nationwide network of windsurfing clubs where young people under 16 can learn to windsurf.

Windsurfing is something very different to what school sports can typically offer. Windsurfing keeps you fit; it's exhilarating and easy to learn but offers challenges. It is never dull. It's environmentally friendly, and it doesn't cost the earth. You can do it on your own, with friends or family, or as a team.

Team15 is a nationwide network of windsurfing clubs where young people aged 16 and under can get together to learn new windsurfing skills with their mates on the water. Since the same faces come back regularly, you’ll make new friends as well.
