lakeside ski & wake...
Our waterski lake was shaped by John Battleday and has been running since 1993. The second home complex on Spring Lake was originally set up to be a waterskier's utopia. The lake is half a mile long and is sheltered by holiday homes on one side and mature trees on the other. Flat water is almost guaranteed. We offer facilities second to none.
We are proud to run the 2011 Ski Nautique 200 Team Edition, equipped with zero off speed control. The 200 is the boat of choice for record-breaking waterskiers and delivers all the necessary requirements for the seasoned pro and beginners alike. The boat is also adapted for wakeboarders with high tower, wake plate and ballast options.

the very beginning...
learning to waterski can start as early as 3 years old! Children aged 3-7 years can try out water skiing on our skimmer board. The child stands on the board while being slowly released on a short rope to the water from the back of the boat by the ski coach. If they can walk, they can skim.
£20 for a 10 minute tow.
learning to waterski & wakeboard...
for novices aged 7 to 70 we recommend our taster courses.These are available for those wishing to learn how to waterski or wakeboard.
The courses are done on a one to one basis with our ski/wakeboard coach.
To start with beginners are kitted out in a wetsuit & buoyancy aid and then given land based tuition.
Training starts on the boom, a solid bar attached to the side of the boat (see picture). This enables the driver/coach to work closely with the skier/wakeboarder.
After practising like this they will then progress to being towed on a long rope behind the boat.
Our taster courses have a very high success rate, with most being able to ski/wakeboard behind the boat after their lesson.
We offer two taster courses, a 20 minute introductory course or a 40 minute intensive course:
20 minute course: The course begins with dry land tuition, followed by 20 minutes on the water. This is perfect for anyone wanting a taste of waterskiing or wakeboarding.
40 minute course: The course starts with dry land tuition, followed by 2 x 20 minute sessions on the water. This is ideal for beginners who want a head start in the world of waterskiing and wakeboarding. It is also very good for someone who wants to develop their skills, whether landing that new trick, getting up on a mono ski or perfecting slalom ski techniques.
