We have a great day planned for you including kayak polo, windsurfing, wakeboarding and in case that wasn’t enough, a SUP Yoga session. The event is open to those who have never tried watersports before as well as those that have. The course takes place in the shallow and sheltered waters of Hove Lagoon, which is an ideal learning environment for those new to water sports. Non swimmers please advise us in advance.
WAKEBOARDING
Start the thrilling sport of wakeboarding – success is guaranteed. Your session will start with a brief on-land demonstration on how to get up on the board, and then it will be time to get on the water.
KAYAK POLO
Kayak Polo is for the brave and the bold. A competitive sport combining fast pace paddling and boat control with ball handling and team work. Which team will secure the glorious victory?
WINDSURFING
Using beginner boards and lightweight rigs, you will learn all the basic windsurfing techniques.
SUP YOGA
Paddleboard yoga brings familiar yogic traditions such as movement and breathing to the water. Floating on the water and immersing in nature encourages the mind, body and soul to find comfort, rest and release.
