The WRCA was first established around 1986, when local windsurfers announced the first international Hi-winds competition, now in its 35+ edition.
The WRCA first started racing on Eagle Beach, and on Palm Beach, but settled on Fishermen’s Huts as the preferred location. The club represents a group of people that is ready to take their love for the ocean to the next level, by slicing through the waves and delivering great fun to sport practitioners and spectators.
