Worthing Watersports
Worthing Watersports is owned and run by Mike and Sue who have been involved in the watersports industry for over 30 years and have been based in Worthing for over 10 years now. The shop is located in Alinora Crescent, ( opposite Sea Lane Cafe ) Goring-by-Sea in the St Johns Parade row of shops and is open 7 days a week from March through until the end of December.

The shop offers an extensive stock of specialist equipment for Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Dinghy Sailing, Kayaking and Stand Up Paddleboarding along with more recreational items associated with the beach and holidays. As we are located less than 100m from the Sea Front we can pass on local knowledge of the area and area's in general that are safe/good for watersports and advise on current conditions relating to wind and tides.
Services
Worthing Watersports are the premier supplier of good quality windsurfing equipment for East and West Sussex and surrounding area's. Our history IS windsurfing. We have been active windsurfers for the last 30+ years and on any windy day we will be down on the beach at Sea Lane Caf or Goring Gap enjoying the conditions that the South coast has to offer.
What is SUP? Well put simply it is a big fat surfboard that you stand on and use a long handled paddle to propel yourself along. SUP has been around for many years now and was historically part of the Hawaiian surf scene for most of the last century. It only became universally popular about 10 years ago and has since gone from strength to strength, increasing year by year in popularity as an alternative to normal surfing, kayaking and the like.
Historically kayaking had always been a sport shunned by the masses due to safety issues and the need to be trained in self-rescue techniques etc. Well no more! With the advent of 'sit-on-top' kayaks, customers who have never been in a kayak in their lives before can now enjoy the joys of paddling.
With 3 very active dinghy sailing clubs close by at Lancing, Worthing and East Preston, Worthing Watersports caters for most needs of the enthusiastic dinghy sailor. We carry a large selection of wetsuits suitable for dinghy sailing from ION, O'Neill, Gul and Billabong, buoyancy aids and life jackets from Crewsaver, Typhoon, Mystic and ION, and boots and shoes from Gul, O'Neill, ION and Crewsaver.
We also stock the full range of North 'Silver HD' booms. This boom carries a full 2 year guarantee and is our most popular boom - you break it, we change it! Size ranges are 140-190, 150-200, 160-210, 180-230 and 200-250. The smaller sizes (up to 160-210) have the North 'new school' front-end shape for added comfort and these smaller lengths also include a built-in mast collar system to accomadate RDM masts - no mast collars required.

I called the shop got an appointment to visit, had a really good talk about what I wanted (kayak) spent 30 45 mins talking over my options and what was best for me and my needs. Really good social distancing, real happy with my new toy.

Went in the summer of 2018 with little to no knowledge. Ended up with a great quality RED paddle board with all the kit needed. Very helpful staff. Highly recommend for all.

Great service from the time you walk through the door to after sales support. You can't beat the expert knowledge and help of the owners. Always a good price, so would never buy from any where else.
Thanks for advice on yet another great gift.
