Dedicated Clyde Windsurfing Club volunteer celebrated with Impact Award

Feri Szincsak, a dedicated volunteer from Clyde Windsurfing Club, is in the spotlight as our latest RYA Scotland Impact Award recipient, recognised for exceptional commitment and contribution to the Scottish windsurfing community.

After first getting involved with the sport eight years ago when his son began windsurfing, Feri has become an integral figure in the day to day running of Clyde Windsurfing Club.

Known for his reliability and hands on help, Feri has supported everything from developing and maintaining the compound space, to encouraging young athletes - including his own two children as they progress in competitive windsurfing.

In addition to his RYA Scotland Impact Award, Feri’s commitment was acknowledged locally last season when Clyde Windsurfing Club named him their Volunteer of the Year thanks to his unwavering commitment.

Jenni Irons is also a parent and volunteer at Clyde Windsurfing Club. Describing Feri’s Impact, Jenni said:

“Feri is one of the stalwarts of Clyde Windsurfing Club… no task is too big or too small for Feri.

“He always has the friendliest demeanour, he has the warmest heart, and the children love him to bits as someone who’s willing to pick up two windsurf boards under each arm to help them up from the beach.

“We really would be lost without him. I think every club needs a Feri in their gang.”

On receiving his RYA Scotland Impact Award, Feri said:

“I am absolutely surprised. It was never thought that the RYA would give me this award, I’m just here supporting the club!”

“I just come in and help, always looking for something new to make the compound better, make the kids happier!”

A truly deserving recipient, Feri’s dedication week in and week out has undeniably helped the club grow and thrive.

Designed to honour individuals whose efforts make a true difference, RYA Scotland Impact Awards are presented on a rolling basis throughout the year.
