Scotland’s award-winning adventure hub announces April reopening 

New reimagined wakeboarding experience

Foxlake Adventures, East Lothian’s award-winning outdoor adventure destination, has officially announced it will reopen for the 2026 season on April 3rd, debuting a completely revamped wakeboarding programme designed to get more people on the water than ever before. 

Known for offering a wide variety of unique and exhilarating adrenaline-filled outdoor activities, Foxlake Adventures is gearing up for its busiest season to date. From Foxlake’s unique Foxfall ropes course to the high-energy Aqua Park, the East Lothian destination provides an escape for everyone – from adrenaline junkies to families looking for a memorable day out on their doorstep.

This season, Foxlake Adventures is putting wakeboarding front and centre, introducing a completely revamped range of sessions designed to welcome first-timers, develop regular riders and bring the wakeboarding community closer together. New for 2026, the RiDE Session offers a 15-minute coached set on the water, a high-excitement way to build skills or ride freely after exploring what else the site has to offer. 

For those looking to take their first strokes on the board, Foxlake’s Learn 2 RiDE session provides 45 minutes of expert, qualified instruction, complete with structured training to guide beginners from the dock to the water with confidence. 

Rounding out the new programme is the Jam Sessions. An hour-long social session for groups of up to four riders, where participants can take turns on the water, share skills and enjoy the kind of community spirit that has always set Foxlake’s wakeboarding scene apart. 

James Barbour, Director of Foxlake Adventures, 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. 

“Foxlake Adventures is ideal 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.”

The wakeboarding competition will feature a full day of live music, expert commentary, and an energetic MC to keep the crowd entertained and informed. Judging will be carried out by a panel of experts, including Wild Shore team members Nick Galloway and Cameron Bullen, and Tegan Brady from Waterski and Wakeboard Scotland, bringing invaluable insight and experience to the competition.
