What's going on with the ridiculous situation at W Wittering? Not only am I charged a fiver to park my van at the beach, but then some trumped-up locals try to hit me up for ?12.50 to go sailing... good luck to them, but needless to say no cash was forthcoming! It's a sad day when windsurfers are trying to charge others to go sailing; it goes against the whole ethos of the sport. The wind and the waves are free and need to stay that way. http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,132,132#msg-132 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:08:40 +0000 Phorum 5.2.19 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,132,357#msg-357 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,132,357#msg-357
West wittering has always beeen a busy beach for swimmers and over a season they will get 1 million visitors up to 15,000 on on a busy day.11 years ago windsurfing was going to get banned unless a management system was introduced .

The windsurf club has been down there since 82 and the management system is paid for by its members,and the club charges people who are not members to sail which includes rescue cover approx cost (10 k) plus staff ,new changing rooms and showers ?100,000.The place is pretty nice down there and without the club certain local individauls would have there way there would be NO windsurfing access at all.We have invested a lot of money to develop new RRD Ezzy windsurf test centre ,there is broadband access for members, tuition,hire and the place is manned 7 days a week by trained staff from march 1 untill oct 30.

Its shame you feel it is expensive but that is the way it is,unfortunalty conservation of privatly owned beaches costs big money the land value at west wittering beach must be over ?40 mill ,were lucky that we have had the chance to keep windsurfing and kiting from the beach.
