Ideas for activities for the over 50’s in Brighton

Over fifty and looking for an interesting new activity. Have you thought about getting out on the water. There is a whole host of watersports that are suitable, such as sailing, yacht sailing, windsurfing, standup paddleboarding or cable wakeboarding. Sailing lessonss can be taken from Brighton Marina. You can be out on the sea learning how to sail, enjoying the ocean with a view of Brighton from the sea before you know it. You can learn to sail in keel boats, essentially a large dinghy, or on yachts. It is best to learn with Royal Yachting Association instruction as this follows an internationally recognised path and ensures a positive experience and well qualified instructors. Lessons can be taken as part of small groups, or on a 1:1 private basis. Sailing is great fun, extremely varied and can lead to many happy years on the water and learning. For the thrill seekers how about having a go at cable wakeboarding at the wakeboard park at Hove Lagoon. It is easy, honest, the school at Hove Lagoon guarantees to get you up and wakeboarding. To start with you will learn how to get up and glide across the water. This is usually accomplished within a one hour lesson. A second hours lesson should get you to the point where you can wakeboard up and down and go round corners and are therefore ready to join in regular practice sessions. The jumps and ramps might or might not appeal to you, but if they do then the wakeboarding instructors and the club can help you get ready for the next level. Be warned, wake boarding can be addictive.
