Lancing Beach
Six miles west of Brighton, with a very broad usable wind range (ESE through W) — SW is the local favourite. Best at falling to low tide: high tide leaves little room between the beach huts and groynes. Shallow water and small chop make for good teaching zones at low tide. Mixed levels; set up well clear of groynes and don’t launch if there is any doubt about space. Easy by train (London Victoria direct). Schools: Lancing Kitesurf School, Brighton Kitesurf & SUP Academy, Evolution Boardsports (shop).
