Hi can anyone tell me if there is anywhere to hire windsurfing boards and rigs in or near Porthcawl. I will be there over Easter but cant take any kit .
Also any advice on places to sail in that area.

As far as places to sail go, take a look at the beachguide on this site.
UK Beachguide

I'm not sure about hiring things, but there are a couple of shops down that way.... I'll look up the numbers for you.

Hi Mark, give mark a ring at rush extreme sport he runs the local kite shop at porthcawl, iam sure he will point you in the right direction and a nice guy to, the number is 01656773311. hope this helps

Nar man Rush dont do anything with windsurf gear ,
theres nowhere in Porthcawl that rents .
Nearest winsurf shop is Rat Rigs Cardiff and they dont rent either .
Swansea bay had some learing gear for rent but its not what your looking for .
If you change your mind and bring gear and want advice on where/when to sail give us a mail .

Didn't think there would be anywhere that rents these days, and as Kelvin has confirmed that, there is little point in me posting the phone numbers for the shops now... Just take your kit with you.... I'm sure you could fit it in if you left the wife/kids at home!!!!

Al.

Thanks for the help guys I will consider justals advice re wife and kids.
