GetWindsurfing and Bray Lake

Getwindsurfing is something Phil and I have been working on since we decided to finish working in El Tur. We wanted to push ourselves freelancing windsurfing coaching and also doing photos, lining up some clinics at the same time and trying to make a go of it in the coaching world, working for ourselves. We chose the name Getwindsurfing and have brought the domain name Getwindurfing.com which will soon have our website up in action! We have moved to Dahab because of this, as there are so many hundreds more windsurfers here every week than anywhere else in Egypt. Our goals look further than just Egypt, aiming to make something which we can in the future take anywhere, to make the best of all the amazing locations for windsurfers around the world, sharing our knowledge and love of the sport with as many people as we can on the way.

Phil and I have been working in the past and have very close friends and connections with Bray Lake, a windsurfing and sailing centre and club in Maidenhead, UK. Since we have started doing our own thing setting up Getwindsurfing, they have very kindly offered us even more support than they had already been giving us, in a form of sponsorship, helping us to be able to pursue our ideas easier than it would otherwise be.

For us this is fantastic and we are already enjoying the benefits as well as knowing we are working together again with them, in different ways. Obviously we meet many windsurfers from all over, and many are keen to learn of a new place to sail, a club to join to meet other windsurfers, or even just a shop where they can visit to get good advice and equipment. Bray Lake has all this to offer and more, and we are really keen to encourage people to keep it in mind for their windsurfing needs. Their website can be found in my links section, where you find their blog, very funny to read at the moment as the boys from Bray are writing about their trip to Morrocco, and also the forum. They also brought their club trip out to Egypt to visit us when we were just finishing work in El Tur and this was a fun week with many people learning loads from their time on the water, and so we have had some great times with the crew from there too.

So basically we just want to thank the lake for the support and encourage everyone we know to think of them for all things watersports.
