In addition to windsurfing at Watergrove, you can also take part in these sports:

• Windfoiling
• Wing Surfing & Wing Foiling
• Stand Up Paddleboarding
• Canoeing & Kayaking
• Mountain Biking 
• Remote Control Model Yachting

Our SUP, Wingfoiling, Windfoiling and Canoeing/Kayaking pages emphasise these sports are welcome, so we've been sure to include photos of them on our homepage to reinforce that message.

We're gaining new members by diversifying in this way and it's generating a really nice atmosphere around the club generally. You can invite visitors to join you at the Club - those venturing on the water should pay £10 for a Day Ticket. You're also encouraged to join the Club's Facebook group, where you can post photos and videos of your visits and promote what we offer.
