You can also jump onto a huge air cushion for the sport of ‘blobbing’ which catapults you into the air before making a splash in the lake.

Also included in the Water Area are five normal water slides for adults.

Wake-boarders can head to the 20,000 square metre Wake Area with both beginners and professionals able to try the water sport for themselves.
