WAKEBOARDING and water adventures are making a splash this season.

Wild Shore Delamere, an outdoor adventure destination in Cheshire, has announced it will reopen for the 2026 season on April 4 with a reimagined wakeboarding programme.

The site is known for its adrenaline-fuelled activities including an aqua park, Ringo rides, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Its latest season promises to be the busiest yet.

James Barbour, director of Wild Shore Delamere, said: "The winter always feels a bit long when you're waiting to get back on the water.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome guests back this April.

"All our offerings - Aqua Park, Ringo Rides and stand-up paddleboarding - are returning in 2026, and we have now created an improved programme for wakeboarding, leaning on the experience of our dedicated and growing community.

"Wild Shore Delamere is the ideal destination for those serious about making 2026 their year on the water.

"We’re looking forward to a fantastic season ahead and can’t wait to welcome everyone back."

This year, the venue is putting a renewed focus on wakeboarding with a new suite of sessions aimed at beginners and regular riders alike.

The RiDE Session, a new addition for 2026, offers a 15-minute coached set on the water.

This gives participants a chance to build skills or simply enjoy some high-action fun.

For complete beginners, the Learn 2 RiDE session includes 45 minutes of guided instruction from a qualified coach to help first-timers move confidently from the dock to the water.

The new programming also includes Jam Sessions, designed as a social hour for up to four riders to take turns on the water, share skills, and enjoy the community atmosphere that defines Wild Shore Delamere’s wakeboarding scene.

The attraction is not only a draw for thrill-seekers but also for families seeking an active day out.

Wild Shore Delamere was awarded the Gold Accolade in the Visit England Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme following the 2025 season.

The honour places it among the top-rated visitor experiences in the UK.
