STAND UP PADDLE AND WINDSURF
Stand up paddle is a really easy but novel way to get around. Somehow it seems to have more comfort and appeal than a kayak for getting around the lake...literally, standing up gives you a better perspective of where you're going!
There is actually a fair amount to see here and we found it pretty quick for just getting to different points in the lake. By going up the creek (but with a paddle...) the kids loved going to the "Pirate's Cove" and then being able to run and jump in. We also nipped across to the lily pads and tried to follow some ducks!
The windsurf kit is perfect for beginners and our two children enjoyed several sessions with really light and small sails that they could handle. After a couple of sessions my son was able to genuinely windsurf, going right out into the middle of the lake, working upwind and tacking. Our daughter liked help with the uphauling, and the shallow water allows this, before sailing to the beach.This has led us to come home and add a couple of junior rigs to my kit...a great introduction to the sport in a warm and safe environment.
