BWA Future Pros

‘Future Pros’ is the BWA’s grass roots kids development program. 

Developed after partnership with RYA Scotland for three years, Future Pros is an aspiration training and development program. The program takes aspiring young windsurfers from 8-17 years of age and offers them:

• Training for wave and manoeuvre oriented Wavesailing

• An introduction to wave competition

• An opportunity to meet, learn from and eventually compete with the brightest stars in the UK who currently compete in the sport of Wavesailing. I.e. the kids heroes!

With training camps running directly alongside our competitions around the UK, Future Pros offers a more ‘expressive’ form of training than the current mainstream race competition. While speed and the ability to go fast is a necessity within Wavesailing, manoeuvre oriented coaching is often referred to as the fun side of the sport when compared to the rigours of race training. This can be particularly appealing for smaller, lighter windsurfers who are traditionally less competitive in the racing environment. 

Typically our camps are open to those with an already established ability with one or two of the camps being targeting for very accomplished young riders. The camps should be viewed as development pathways and not as beginning coaching. So typically minimum prerequisite ability cut offs might include:

• Beachstarting ability

• Waterstarting ability

• Jumping/waveriding ability. 

Some of our venues will be more favourable for specific standards than others so if your family are considering attending a camp, please let us know and we can offer advice as to which camp/s may be most suitable.
