A new windsurfing and paddleboarding school could soon open at Weston-super-Mare’s seafront lake - which is just 45 minutes from Bristol.
Since the Wave opened on the outskirts of our city, Bristolians have flocked to the attraction to learn to surf, with many taking up annual memberships. Soon locals will have another option for watersports, as North Somerset Council has spent £300,000 on transforming Marine Lake over the last year.
The work, which started last Spring, has been carried out as part of the authority’s Great Lakes Project. Funding for additional improvements has now been secured after the council won £20 million from the Government’s levelling up fund.
