Meanwhile over in Poole Park you can slow it all down by hiring a kayak and enjoying a leisurely paddle around the lake. If you are new to kayaking then Rockley Watersports offer a taster session to get you going.
They also provide windsurfing courses at Poole Park from a 2 hour taster session to a 2 day course.
