Norwich Water Ski & Wakeboard Club

Norwich Water Ski & Wakeboard Club Norwich Water Ski Club For over fifty years Norwich Water Ski Club has been a centre of excellence for water skiing in East Anglia and an enjoyable place to be.

Our club is situated just outside Norwich between Costessey and Taverham, and is only a few miles from the centre of Norwich. Our club is based on a private fresh water lake surrounded by trees in an idyllic location. We have a fully equipped club house with showers and toilets, a wakeboard kicker, full sized international slalom course and a fibreglass topped full size ski jump. We are a small m

embers’ club with around 40 members of all ages, backgrounds and abilities but we are open to non-members who wish to try our sport.. We pride ourselves in having excellent qualified instructors and boat drivers with a range of equipment and a tournament ski boats. Currently we run a Malibu Response with Zero Off GPS timing (Please note that private craft cannot be used on our lake). Our members range from complete beginners to top tournament competition skiers and wake boarders. If you want to learn to water ski with a qualified instructor, develop your skills a bit more or just want to come along and have some fun, we would love to see you. Although most skiing time is dedicated to members skiing we do have a limited number of days where we hire out the lake and equipment for corporate or private events. When a private hire is booked you would have exclusive access to the whole club and amenities, including the club house and grounds, tournament boat, a qualified boat driver and a qualified instructor and all equipment. We offer a whole day between the hours of 10am and 4pm or an evening session between 5pm and dusk. Normally we would aim for a maximum number of 15 skiers for a full day booking which would allow for approximately 2 skis each. Evening sessions, depending on the time of year, can cater for up to 10 skiers allowing for one ski each

Norwich Water Ski Club can be accessed either via Taverham or Costessey. If you come via Taverham you need to be on Costessey Road and if you enter via Costessey you will actually be on Taverham Lane. Confused yet? It is the same road and halfway along is the ski club. The entrance is right is the middle of the 'S' bends where you will see it sign posted with Anglian Water and Norwich Water Ski Club signs. For SatNav users use the postcode NR8 5BE.

Hi all

Just to let you know that I attended a disability training workshop at Access Adventures on Thursday 22nd May at their lake in Staines near Heathrow airport.

The event was organised by British Waterski and Wakeboard but was run by the Access Adventures team.

Access Adventures and the British Disabled Waterski & Wakeboard Association merged in 2020 and are continually looking expanding the opportunities available to anyone with a disability.
Although they offer a range of different activities for disabled people their main focus is on waterskiing and wakeboarding. They have a super lake and lots of specialist equipment and a lovely club house which also has some accommodation for their customers.

This was an excellent day, and the staff were super friendly with lots of teaching experience and knowledge about the different needs of people with a disability.
In the morning, we had a classroom-based session followed by a lovely lunch supplied by British Water Ski. In the afternoon we had a practical, in the water, session, where we tried out some of their equipment and were given lots of coaching tips from the experts.

The whole event was excellent and lots of fun and I would say that I now have the knowledge, confidence, and contacts to advise a person with a disability on how to have a go at our super sport.
So, if you do know of anyone with a disability who does fancy having a go, please contact me so we can work out some sort of plan.

Take a look at the Access Adventures web site to get an idea of what they can offer.

One of the things that makes Norwich Water Ski Club so special is seeing how the sport shapes lives.

Take one of our long-time members – he first clipped into skis here as a young lad over 30 years ago. Nervous. Wobbly. Probably didn’t get up on the first go. But something clicked – and he kept coming back.

Fast forward three decades, and he’s still here – not just skiing, but helping others find their feet too. Coaching beginners. Cheering kids on during their first ringo ride. Passing on the buzz that got him hooked all those years ago.

That’s the power of this place. It’s more than a sport – it’s confidence, connection, and community. And it starts with giving it a go.

If you’ve got kids who are keen to try something new – or you’re looking for an outdoor activity the whole family can grow into – this is it.

Water skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, ringo rides – it all starts at Norwich Water Ski Club.
And who knows? 30 years from now, they could be the ones helping the next generation up on their skis.

Family-friendly sessions running Sundays, Mondays & Thursdays. Book now:

Today reminds me of those days and Summer nights at the lake… pure magic.

The sun sets, the BBQ’s sizzling, and the water’s like glass.
Kids laughing, tea in hand, and the last few rides before dusk.
This is what Norwich Water Ski Club is all about.

Evening sessions + BBQ socials = the perfect summer evening.
Come make some memories with us.
