We run one of the biggest beginner windsurfing festivals in the world - Aussie Kiss - which sees upwards of 500 students descending on a lake every October, followed by a series of three Core and three Wave events hosted by university windsurf clubs from all over the country. As the National Governing Body for student windsurfing, we finish off the season with our BUCS Nationals event, hosted by Colwyn Bay Watersports, which feeds results back into the national inter-university sports league. uk WIND SURFING
