Grimwith is simply the best windsurfing venue in the area. It's very BIG and being at 1000' (300m) altitude, the wind is nearly always blowing a good force or two stronger than elsewhere.
In almost all wind directions the potential for straight line blasting and fun manouvres is huge, and in all directions but a straight southerly, the winds are usually clean and steady. In a strong westerly, there's a superb 1 mile stretch of water upwind which allows some significant waves to build up for easy jumping. Loops and rolls have been a regular feature from some of our experts!
