Wild Shore Blackpool to reopen in April with revamped wakeboarding sessions for 2026 season
An outdoor adventure attraction in Blackpool has announced it will reopen for the 2026 season next month with a revamped wakeboarding programme aimed at getting more people out on the water.
Wild Shore Blackpool will welcome visitors back from April 4, with a refreshed line-up of wakeboarding sessions designed to appeal to beginners, regular riders and groups looking to try the sport.
The popular watersports destination, known for its inflatable Aqua Park, Ringo rides and stand-up paddleboarding, is preparing for what it expects to be its busiest season yet.
As part of its 2026 offering, wakeboarding will take centre stage with several new session formats introduced to make the activity more accessible.
Among them is the RiDE Session, a 15-minute coached set on the water designed to help participants build skills or enjoy a quick ride alongside other activities on site.
For newcomers, the Learn 2 RiDE session will offer 45 minutes of expert instruction, giving beginners the chance to learn the basics in a structured environment with qualified coaches.
The new Jam Sessions are aimed at groups of up to four riders, allowing participants to take turns on the water during an hour-long social session while sharing tips and building confidence.
All of Wild Shore’s other popular activities, including the Aqua Park, Ringo rides and stand-up paddleboarding, will also return for the new season.
James Barbour, director of Wild Shore Blackpool, said the team were looking forward to welcoming visitors back after the winter break.
“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.
“Wild Shore Blackpool is the ideal destination 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.”
Wild Shore operates several watersports and aqua park locations across the UK, including sites in East Lothian, Chester and Dundee.
