We have a number of ways to get the disabled active on the water.
The Triple Bar:
For those able to use their legs we utilise the Triple Bar which
enables two able bodied skiers to help a disabled skier on a pair
of skis get themselves out of the water. Once up they are then
able to be supported on either side aiding both their confidence
and their stability.

Then gradually separate

You're on your own now!

Root 5:
For those not able to or unwilling to stand on a pair of skis
we use the Root 5 ski which is like a large sit-on canoe. Two
helpers are then positioned either side to aid the skier and ensure
they enjoy their time whizzing around behind the boat.
Sitz Ski:
For the more accomplished this framed seated ski is more reactive
and precise and you can even tackle the slalom course in it with
a bit of practice. Again we use helpers to get you started but
many soon find they can manage quite well by thmeselves.
Special Disabled Facilities include: ·

spacious changing rooms and vending facilities ·
