A COMBINATION of two watersports is making waves with visitors to Windermere. English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues, which runs the Watersports Centre at Low Wood Bay, has been working with new venture Wake on the Bay to offer tuition in ‘wakesurfing’. The activity requires a short surfboard, plus a specialist wakesurfing boat, tow rope and buoyancy aid for safety. The surfer starts off as a waterskier or wakeboarder would do, holding on to the tow rope as the boat accelerates. Once upright and ready, the surfer discards the rope and that’s when the fun begins. Edward Grey from Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa said: “As the Mastercraft sports boat generates a wake that mimics the ocean in a controlled and consistent way, it allows the surfer to work the wave and develop their surfing skills and style, adding different moves, jumps and tricks.
