An important part of being able to offer the best experience at X-Train is excellent equipment.
We are proud to be a demo centre for RRD Windsurfing and Kitesurfing, Ezzy Sails, Dakine, Surftech, Drops, NSP, Fanatic and Kialoa. We use this kit for all our courses and it is also available to hire.
These brands have been chosen because, in our opinion, they are the best of the best. Each piece of equipment in our hire fleet has been picked becuase it offers a superior performance. If we wouldn’t sail it, we wouldn’t expect you to.
Hiring Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, SUPing and Surfing Gear in West Wittering
You have four options when it comes to renting gear. Equipment can be rented by the hour, half day (3 hours) or full day (see prices below) or you can sign up for our Hire Package Membership.
The Hire Package Membership is so much cheaper than buying your own gear. You can switch between kitesurfing, windsurfing, surfing, SUP and kayaking as much as you like and you can use brand new, top quality gear everyday between the beginning of March and end of Ocotber.
We will even have your sail rigged and ready for when you arrive at the beach. We will take your board to the water’s edge if it is low tide and you can change sail and board size as much as you like.
If you are already a member, you can add the Hire Package onto your club membership. This costs £510 per person.
We have invested in serious amounts of equipment to make West Wittering Windsurf Club work like a holiday centre abroad. We don’t just use the basic models from all the brands. We have the top of the range carbon-kevlar boards from RRD, sails from Ezzy, 90% Skinny carbon masts, Chinook Booms, Dakine harnesses, adjustable harness lines, new RRD kites, RRD kite boards. We have top quality wetsuits from Neil Pryde, O’neill and Animal. We also have kids specific boards and sails from Fanatic and Hot Sails Maui. We have wind SUPs, surf SUPs and all round boards from NSP, Drops, RRD, Fanatic and Surftech.
