About wakeboarding
Wakeboarding is a surface water sport where you are pulled behind a boat and skim the surface of the water. The wakeboard is a short rectangular board with two boot bindings – a cross between a snowboard and a skateboard.
Although it is not as established as waterskiiing, wakeboarding is now extremely popular. Along with carving motions, wakeboarders have developed their own exciting tricks both on the water’s surface and in the air!
Highlights

Each lesson is delivered by one of our BWSW Level 2 Instructors, using our unique ‘Camel Ski Way’. This blends expert instruction with a personalised approach, making learning safe, effective and fun.

Do I need to book in advance?
To avoid disappointment please book in advance. We can get very busy throughout the summer, so reserve your session soon!
Who can do it?
We truly believe everyone can – we have clients aged 5 up to 85! No experience needed – just a desire to give it a go and we’ll do the rest.
How many people can come?
We can take up to 5 people on our normal Ribs and up to 10 people on our Highfield Rib. This can be all skiers or a mix of skiers and spectators. A small well-behaved dog is welcome too on the normal Ribs, but not on the Highfield. Spectators go free and you do not have to book them in.
Are there changing facilities and toilets?
Most clients change on the Pontoon outside the School, so please bring towels/Dry Robes to enable this. However, we do have one shared changing room for those who prefer more formal facilities, but please be aware this may be full on busier days. Please note, we cannot hold any personal belongings in the office for you during your session so please bear this in mind when deciding what to bring with you.
Unfortunately we do not have any toilets for client use. The nearest public toilets are in the Rock Quarry Car Park at the end of Rock Road.
Do you have lockers?
We do however have a number of small lockers available for clients which are ideal for storing a small bag and personal belongings in when you are on the water.
Is there a Café?
Yes, our Après Ski Café sells a selection of hot and cold drinks, toasted bagels, pastries, cakes, crisps and snacks – perfect for breakfast or a light lunch. Outside seating available with views over the Estuary or takeaway to enjoy on the beach or boat.
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, wakeboards and buoyancy aids – all included in the price of your session. Just bring yourself and some swimmers. However, it is best to wear your own wetsuit if you have one.

Payment by card or RingGo – Location Code: 15661. Please allow plenty of time to park before your session, especially in the busy holiday seasons.

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