Youth Activities

Sailing, Kayaking, or Windsurfing, there is something for everyone. Please see below for details of the sports available and our different sessions.

The minimum age for our Instructed Activities is eight years old; unfortunately, we cannot accept young people under eight to these sessions, even if it’s just a day before their birthday. You can access the equipment hire sessions which are parent supervised with children as young as five, you can find more details on the Equipment Hire Page

Dinghy Sailing
Sailing is an excellent youth sport, being good for general fitness, highly skilful and great fun! We have a range of youth boats available, to suit all age groups, ideal for young people to learn the basics of the sport right through to the more advanced single and double handed boats. The youth club sailing sessions are suitable for all levels of ability ranging from total beginners to keen racers.

Kayaking and Canoeing
Kayaking is the most physically demanding sport we do at the centre. Kayaking is also one of the wettest sports we do, as capsize practises are a vital part of the tuition we deliver. Our BCU qualified instructors will have you playing games and having a great time out on the dock. We aim to develop our youth kayaking this season with the goal of running some off-site trips during the season to some moving water sites.

Windsurfing
Youth windsurfing has now been established at the centre as a firm favourite with the youth members. The sessions are great fun, beginning with basic balancing exercises and quickly progressing to sailing techniques. Youth windsurfing has been fast developing at the centre and we are pleased to see this sport enjoying such a revival.
