X-train and 2XS at West Wittering

X-train is the tuition arm of West Wittering Windsurfing Club set up by Simon Bassett who owns 2XS and the Windsurf Club.

Our mission is to make sure you learn fast and succeed in a safe and fun environment. We believe you need tuition at all levels to progress and, with our shallow tidal lagoon and experienced instructors, this is the place to get it.

The Clubhouse
In 2005 we opened our brand new club house at West Wittering beach so we can now offer you the best of everything. The best showers and club facilities, the best tuition, the best kit and WiFi if your in ‘a meeting’
and need to check those emails.

The beach
We are in the privileged position of being the only golden, sandy beach on the south coast. Set in the private, well managed West Wittering Estate, it is the perfect setting. At low tide we teach in the waist deep lagoon sheltered by the sand bars. At mid tide you experience chop and
high tide brings waves.

Hire
At the beach we have the latest equipment for hire which includes
windsurfing kit (both adults and kids), kayaks, paddleboards, surfboards, bodyboards, skimboards & wetsuits. For a full list and prices
