Description

Many might wonder how the thrilling sport of surfing could possibly be made more extreme, more enjoyable and more daring. Well, watersporting fans rejoice – now there’s jetsurfing! It’s exactly what it sounds like: a carbon fiber surfboard-shaped hull with a light, internal two stroke engine that goes like a jet without the need for the exotic waves not often found on the UK coast. A handheld throttle controls speed, and shifting body weight changes direction as in many boarding sports. Beginners are just as welcome as experienced watersporting enthusiasts; this one on one session begins with a safety briefing and intro, before two closely supervised training sessions on the lake, each lasting twenty minutes.

Availability: Available weekends, plus occasional weekday afternoons and evenings year-round. Please book several weeks in advance to secure your chosen date. Weather: Jet sufing can take place all year round, although winter tends to see only hardened water sports enthusiasts brave the cold waves. We recommend between March and November. Duration: Lasts around an hour and a half, including getting kit on, a 30 minute introduction and safety briefing and 40 minutes of jetsurfing. Please arrive 30 minutes before your session is due to start. Numbers On Day: The first session is held on a one-to-one basis with a qualified instructor. Spectators: Friends and family are welcome to come along and watch from the bar but there is no viewing platform. Dress Code: You will get wet during this experience. Please bring a towel, warm clothes to change into and sunscreen if necessary. All necessary kit will be provided. Showers and toilets are on site. Guidelines: Restrictions: Minimum age is 16 and must be comfortable in water. Maximum weight is 120kg. Unsuitable for pregnant ladies or those with heart, back or neck conditions. Other Info: A Liability Release Form will need to be signed on the day.
