About Us

We’re the Bronkies Gust Busters and we’re proud to fly the flag (or sail as it so happens…) for windsurfing in Gauteng. We consider ourselves to be a fortunate group, having experienced the joy of planing (when the board skips across the water at a speed faster than the wind). We may be judged by some to be a tad arrogant, but then why not – we go as fast as motor boats but without those smelly engines. We’re actually just a bunch of regular blokes who enjoy a common sense of purpose and the freedom which windsurfing brings. Although our sailing conditions are not the best (when compared to Cape Town), we still enjoy the odd windy day which Mother Nature throws our way.

We are few and far between because interest in our noble sport has apparently waned due to many reasons, none of which are actually acceptable. The truth is that the majority of folks out there don’t know what they’re missing – they’d rather do the couch potato thing and watch rugby/cricket/soccer on TV. We don’t knock those sports, but wouldn’t it be much more fun to actually become involved in a sport of one’s own ? Windsurfing is not difficult and you don’t have to be built like a small gorilla to handle a sail. And it’s clean.
