What Is The Best Party Combination?

The most popular party combination is our Foxfall Ropes course followed by the Ringo. 50-minutes on Foxfall, followed by a 10-minute break and then a 15-minute ringo session is a brilliant party for all ages!



Which Ringo Should I Book For My Party?

We have two different ringo sizes, 2 man (small – £25) and 4 man (large – £30) all sessions are 15 minutes long and fully instructed by qualified staff. The small ringo can have up to 6 kids in a session and the large ringo can have up to 10 kids in a session. The kids will swap on and off the ringo in the 15-minute session. E.g. if you have a party of 4 and book the Large ringo they will stay on the ringo for the full 15 minutes, if you have 8 in your party they would each get 7.5 minutes on the ringo.

WAKEBOARDING

What Is A Single Lesson?

Yes. Each Foxfall session can have up to 24 people in it, you will share the session with other parties and groups that have booked the same your as you.



Which Lesson Should I Choose?

The only difference in the sessions is the length of time you get wakeboarding! Both sessions are suitable for all abilities as our instructors will coach you depending on your ability. If you would like to progress further, we recommend the Double session. If you would like a taster session to see if wakeboarding is for you then we recommend the Single session… but be warned, it’s addictive! 15 minutes of wakeboarding for a beginner is alot of time and as wakeboarding uses muscles you don’t otherwise use it may be a good idea to start with a single 15 minute session.
