Kids waterski course

Offers an opportunity for aspiring waterskiers or wakeboarders, aged 8-17 years – to book in for an intensive 3-day course to progress in the sport.

3-Day Kids Waterski, Wakeboard Summer Course

Ideal for complete beginners and seasoned skiers alike, it will give you the time to work on your technique, develop new skills and fast track your progression – all under the supervision of one of qualified our BWSW Level 2 Instructors.

What will you do?

 

  • The three days will combine practical sessions on the water with land-based classroom tuition and feedback.  Our qualified instructors will use the ‘Camel Ski Way’ Booklet to track your progress. You can waterski with two skis, mono or wakeboard – or do all three.  We will even have some fun on the multi position board too.

 

  • In the classroom lessons we will cover such areas as skiing/boarding technique with video analysis, general boat skills, understanding tides, wind and weather, first aid and ski fitness with some fun and games thrown in…all with the aim of developing your practical and theoretical skills to ensure that when you venture out onto the water you have the essential knowledge to have fun and stay safe.

 

  • Roughly you’ll spend two thirds of your day on the water and a third on land.

Cost: £240.00 per child per course

Capacity: 5 spaces per course

You can bring a packed lunch or we have a cafe at the Ski School selling a selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks.

What about equipment?

We have absolutely everything you will need to enjoy your time on the water with us including a huge range of thick wetsuits, waterskis and buoyancy aids – all included in the price of your session.

If you need to cancel or change your booking you can do so via our online booking system. All cancellations or changes must be made 24 hours prior to the booking. Unfortunately, any no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours cannot be refunded.

We will only cancel sessions if the conditions are dangerous – rain won’t stop us!
