This venue is wonderful as there is a lagoon for initial instruction and practise but is beside the sea for the next stage.

Whether you just want to try Sailing, Stand Up Paddle boarding, Wake-boarding or Windsurfing, or you want to make the most of living by the sea, this is it! I cannot think of any other place where so many different types of people can enjoy themselves

I wanted to email as I had a 1:1 paddle board lesson today with Sian and she was amazing. I asked at the front desk who I should contact to pass this positive feedback to and was given your email address. Sian was patient, kind and a great teacher who supported and encouraged me to great effect. I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience paddle boarding and will certainly be back, despite being extremely nervous beforehand.

The water quality in Hove Lagoon is independently tested regularly during the summer season as part of the Brighton and Hove City Councils seafront beach water quality testing. Lagoon Watersports opened in 1994, since that date the water in Hove Lagoon has passed every test.

Natural algae growth occurs in the Lagoon. This algae can look unpleasant particularly when it blows to one corner of the Lagoon. It is harmless. It is NOT blue/green algae that fresh water lakes can suffer from.
Sometimes there is a smell. This smell is caused by the natural process of the algae.
Brighton and Hove City Council treat the water with an organic substance to help suppress the algae growth.
The water in the Lagoon is sea water rather than fresh water which prevents some common water quality issues that lakes suffer from.
The Lagoon is topped up with fresh seawater every few days.
The Lagoon is very shallow so the sun can penetrate to the bottom.
There is a high level of evaporation and leakage in the Lagoon.
The sea water that goes into the Lagoon meets all bathing test requirements.
Changing Bookings
When you make a booking with us we assign staff and equipment to deliver the booking. That means we are unable to offer that space to anyone else.
If you cancel that space we are likely to incur a loss. We will have already made commitments to staff and we may have turned away other bookings. We are unable to get insurance that covers us for this loss.
We therefore do not offer refunds for cancellations. If we did not do this we would have to put up our prices for everyone.
Our cancellation policy applies in all circumstances including no shows, illness, relocation, transport failure and bereavement.
Course Cancellation Insurance You can take out insurance to cover the cost of your course against cancellation through CancelSure. Guide cost is £12 for the first £100 of cover and then £6 per additional £100 of cover.

In each case, such a booking will be at the price prevailing at the time of re-booking and subject to an admin charge of £25 for courses over £150 and £10 for courses under £150.
