waterskiing

A little bit about waterskiing at Camel Ski School…and learning the ‘Camel Ski’ way…

Waterskiing is a surface water sport where you are pulled behind a boat skimming the surface of the water on two skis or one ‘mono’ ski.

For beginners we use a bar on the side of the boat, this reduces the space between the instructor and skier and so improves communication. There is also little to no wake affecting the skier - meaning a smoother ride and faster progression.

We have a range of ski equipment for all standards of skier, for example if you are in the early stages of mono skiing we use a wider ski as the increased surface area makes balancing easier which speeds up the learning progress.

Sessions Available To Book: We run three type of sessions - all with UKCCL2 tuition:

- a 15 Minute Tow - this is best suited to people who can already ski to Level 3 in our 'Camel Ski Way'.

- a 20 Minute Progression Session - sometimes a standard tow is just not long enough - this extended session allows you to have that little extra time on the water to improve your skills or perfect a certain trick.

- a 30 Minute Beginner Session - the one to book if you are an absolute beginner. This session includes a detailed land lesson within the 30 minute session per person. We use the 'Camel Ski Way' to fast track your learning experience, a copy of this Progression Booklet is included in the price and is given to each candidate at the end of the lesson. Once you have had one beginner lesson you should be able to book onto a 15 minute tow - but please check with your Instructor as to what they advise.

Please note - if you are booking a one person tow you will need to bring along a responsible companion to act as your 'spotter'. They do not require any former experience to do this and you do not need to book them in.

For general information please see our FAQ’s page.

WANT TO GET YOUR LITTLE ONES STARTED - WHY NOT TRY OUR SKI TRAINER?

Our inflatable ski trainer is ideal for introducing the little ones to waterskiing - the perfect confidence boost!  Suitable for ages 5-7 years, we use the Ski Trainer to help youngsters capture the basics of riding a towable or waterskis.  It has a fun and engaging design and its round-shaped nose makes sure your mini-me's stay protected and makes easy boarding possible. They can start on their knees, straddling the seat and progress to standing as their skills improve.  Each session includes personal coaching from one of our BWSW Level 2 Instructors.  It costs £19 for a 10min session (they don't need long!). Please note all children must be accompanied by an adult. All kit is included in the price.
