HISTORY
The West Kirby speed sailing spot is a Victorian marine lake on the sea front. The lake is filled up by the bigger tides and at low tide the sea flows out leaving the water trapped in the lake by a retaining wall. The lake itself is approximately 700 metres long and 80 metres wide. The marine lake has been a popular recreational windsurfing location since speedsailing began back in the late 80s / early 90s and has held many prestigious speed events.
“ Although it’s great for all windsurfing, from beginner to expert, West Kirby’s most unique feature is as a speed sailing location. ”
