Visitors

A tow will give you 10 minutes on the water, (free skiing or wakeboarding) or 6 passes through the slalom course. Skis, wakeboards, wetsuits and buoyancy jackets to suit all ages and sizes (well nearly!) are available for loan, this is included in the above price.

Beginners are welcome and they will be given basic tuition by a qualified British Water Ski & Wakeboard Instructor. The Ski boat can be fitted with a training bar which is ideal for learning. Tuition on dry ground is also available if required.

JUST BRING YOURSELVES!!

We use a simple queuing system and operate on a first come, first served basis. You cannot book in advance by phone; you have to be at the Club to have your name placed on the Ski Board by the jetty. We will put a visitor’s name on the next available yellow slot on the board thereby giving members a two to one advantage over a visitor.

If the club is busy you may leave the club rather than wait and then return if you wish prior to your go, however if you are not back in time then unfortunately you will forfeit your turn.

Please be ready on the jetty ready to ski when your turn comes up. Typically allow five skiers per hour as a rule of thumb. If you are not ready you may miss your go.

It is important that you sign the visitors’ indemnity sheet (on the jetty) prior to your go at the same time as paying for your ski. Make sure you are ready and prepared. If you are not sure about anything ask for Jamie, the Manager, or any member of the Committee who will be pleased to assist.

On finishing your ski, please hang out to dry any borrowed equipment. You are welcome to use the shower (2 minutes max, please) as well as the barbeque.

Drinks and ice creams are normally available in the club house and are purchased through Jamie or one of the committee.

For your general information the Club does become very busy, especially at weekends when the sun is shining. The best times to ski as a visitor are –

• Weekends – either early when the club opens or towards dusk before it closes.
• Weekdays – when the club opens at 1 pm, particularly during term time.
• September – anytime, whilst the weather is still warm and the schools have gone back.
