Windsurfing is our true love. Its fast, exciting and not too difficult to learn. At MIW we teach beginners all the way up to advanced level, with all equipment provided.

Kayaking is possibly the most accessible way for anyone to get on the water, be it alone or in a group. Discover the beauty and wildlife Mersea has to offer from a different angle.

We offer one to one lessons meaning you will be sailing off into the sunset in no time. Experienced? We offer dinghy hire too.

This sport is a combination of windfoiling, kitefoiling and surfing. The Foil Wing is taking foiling in a new direction where the only boundaries are your own imagination.

The ultimate seaside escape for young adventurers! Perfect for all ages, our club is packed with action, laughter, and memory-making on (and off) the water
