The watersports centre at Hove Lagoon is the perfect environment for starting watersports. The water is shallow, about one metre deep. The lagoon is about the size of two football pitches so you are never far from the side. The water is always far calmer than the sea. Right next to the water is the purpose built watersports centre with full shore side facilities including changing rooms, hot showers a cafe and free WiFi. The centre has lots of experience of successfully introducing people with special needs to a range of watersports. One the of the staff’s favourite sessions from the 2016 season was to run a wakeboard session for a group of blind veterans who have taken to wakeboarding. The centre is also experienced at catering for groups of young people with behavioural issues. These sessions are usually taster have a go sessions in a few activities but we can also offer regular weekly sessions to learn a new sport like sailing.

Sometimes the centre is able to access grants for nominated groups. It is always worth asking as we may be able to help your group get out on the water at a further reduced rate.
