Lagoon Autumn News Harvey Dawkins2018-02-09T11:51:22+00:00 Lagoon Used Kit Sale End of season kit sale Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November We will be selling 2015, and some 2016, Fanatic windsurf and SUP boards ( solid and inflatable), North sails, masts, booms and Fanatic paddles. Lagoon end of season party! Saturday Nov 14th at Hove Lagoon from 1800 Winter 2015/16 It is that time already, but we have some good news! We will be open most weekends over the winter and for windsurf and SUP members there will be no extra costs. The cafe will be open featuring pizzas, great coffee and hot chocolate. We will try to be open as often as possible but please check our Facebook page or contact us before making a trip. Reasons we might not be open: freezing cold, staff sickness/holiday, lack of water in the Lagoon Wakeboarding Wakeboarding will be the same as last year. Saturdays during November are part of your membership and ride sessions will be free to members. December through to March: We will put on Winter Ride Sessions on Saturdays and some Sundays. These are not included in your membership. Winter ride sessions are £12.50 per session for members, £25 for non members. Board hire is included. Please book online as usual. Why are these sessions not free to members ? Membership covers April 1st to oct 31st plus Saturdays in November. These are extra sessions. If they where included in membership the price of membership would have to go up. We think most people don’t want to ride in the winter. A pay as you go set up is fairer so you only pay if you ride. Also the weather in the winter means we will have to close or cancel sessions more often and it seems fairer if members are not paying a subscription but pay as they ride. Any questions contact us.
