The use of WindSUPs for the delivery of RYA training must be specifically approved by the RYA. WindSUPs may only be used for introductory taster sessions, Stage 1, Stage 2 and Start Windsurfing courses. No more than 50% of boards on a course may be WindSUPs. Both inflatable and hard construction will be considered.
C9.12 T15 clubs
T15 clubs can only operate at RTCs under the supervision of a SI. Sessions should be led by a Windsurfing Racing Instructor. Where a Racing Instructor is not available, a qualified RYA Windsurfing Instructor may deputise in their absence. Safety boat ratios must be the same as for other RYA windsurfing courses.
C9.13 Adventure Activity Licencing
If your centre operates in Great Britain and provides training to under 18s, you may require an Adventure Activity Licence. RYA recognition provides an exemption from Adventure Activity Licencing for activities delivered under RYA recognition only. See 'Guidance
