Welcome to KFUM Uppsala Windsurfing club!
We are a nonprofit organization that is part of the KFUMUppsala and are working for promotion of mainly windsurfing, but also for other non-motorized water sports, such as SUP, Kite and ice-surfing. The aim of the organization is that the club should be a natural meeting point for Uppsala practitioners of windsurfing, as well as to promote the sport’s development and growth. To achieve this, we organize surf trips, training evenings, beginner courses, club championships and even social events. In addition, we offer our members to use the club’s windsurfing equipment so that if you are a beginner, you can learn the first steps on our loan equipment! As a member, you also have the option to acquire a storage for your equipment.
Everyone who think it’s fun to windsurf are all welcome to us. It doesn’t matter how good you are or how long you’ve been doing it. EVERYONE is welcome! We have our fantastic facility down at Alnäs about 10 km south of Uppsala, where we have our own clubhouse with associated “Surf Lounge”.
To fully take advantage of your membership, you should obtain a member key that gives you access to the club house, the road barrier and containers with loan equipment. More info about all this follows below.
