ABOUT KNEEBOARD
A great way for children aged 7 and over and beginners of any age to start on the water!
Kneeboarding is a water board sport that blends surfing, water skiing and wakeboarding.
Towed kneeboarding uses a special board with a padded deck contoured to the shape of the shins and knees and handles to hold while being towed.
The low centre of gravity often makes it easier to get up on than a waterski or wakesurf board which both require standing up
KNEEBOARD SESSIONS
We offer kneeboards for anyone who wants to get out on the water but isn't quite ready for full-on wakesurfing.
For all water-activities you must be able to swim.
For children 7 years and over. All children MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
The advantage of kneeboarding is an easier learning curve and a sense of being closer to the water which is great when you're just beginning your board adventures!
EQUIPMENT
We have all the right kit to make it happen!
- Professional coaching
- JOBE Multiboard
- Wetsuits for all
- Buoyancy aids
- Two Wakesurf Boats - AXIS T220 / T235
WHAT THEY SAY
Highly recommended if you enjoy water-sports and having bags of fun.
We attended at the beginning of the season, I expect it’s going to be very popular...so book early.

Booked a 3 hour wake board session with Dale with our 3 kids (13, 11 & 8). We had an absolutely amazing time. My 8 year old daughter managed to stand up too! The fun board is also good fun for and would be good for those not so confident to try wake surfing.

Dale managed to get Oscar up on the board first time, an experience none of us will ever forget. My wife and other 2 kids watched on and enjoyed the ride. Highly recommended, I'm sure we'll go back many times.
