The choice of watersports on Windermere for families is amazing and you could spend a whole week exploring the lake on different modes of transport. From canoeing to paddleboarding, to sailing Windermere offers a world of adventure for adventurous families.
But the best and most exciting way to get out on the water on Windermere is to try Wakesurfing. Once you have surfed the waves, you will return time and again for fun and adventure with your family on Windermere.
What is Wakesurfing
Wakesurfing is the most exciting watersport on Windermere, it is fast, fun, and can be done by all members of the family. As the speed limit on Windermere is 10 knots, this is enough to create a wake behind a boat which you then learn to surf. This is opposed to wakeboarding, which required 20 knots.
The prime objective with Wake Surfing is to surf the “Wave” created by the boat just a few meters behind it, you use a short rope just to get you started and then throw it aside once you have found “the push” from the wave. You simply stand on the surface of a Wakesurf board in your bare feet and when you fall off, you separate from the board which reduces impact and potential injury.
