Perfect waves all day every day for all levels of ability will
be created in the multiple pools of the
White Water Course
Where possible within the constraints of the location, a white
water course will be a vital ingredient to Venture Xtreme.
This will offer world-class white water to everyone from
Olympic athletes to curious first-timers.
An international standard six hundred and fifty metre
long white water river with rapids and waterfalls will allow
canoeing, rafting, tubing, play-boating, white water swimming,
hot dog and slalom to be practised. This fully controllable
white water paradise will form two loops of different gradients
that rejoin in a large finishing lake. From there a ‘moving
carpet boatlift’ will take paddlers back to the starting lake
for a new adventure without ever leaving their boats.
The white water stadium is a sport venue offering world-class white water to everyone from Olympic athletes to first-time curiosity seekers.
Play boat waves
Play
Boating or Freestyle is a radical form of canoeing developed
from slalom, where the competitor performs tricks and stunts,
such as striking a suspended ball with the nose of the kayak.
Playing in a stopper or wave allows paddlers to perform a
variety of tricks, such as backsurf 360s, stern squirts,
cartwheels, enders, loops, underwater moves, blunts, spins, wave
wheels and kick flips.
A specially created surf wave will be formed in a loop
off the main white water course, where regular competitions and
coaching sessions can be held.
Canyoning Centre
The
UK’s first, and the world’s largest, artificial canyoning
experience will allow ‘canyoneers’ to slide, jump and abseil
down a series of waterfalls. The man-made mountain will have a
series of pumped water systems creating an exciting canyoning
adventure at three different levels.
The green run for children and first timers will have low
jumps and slides up to two or three metres high linked by a
series of caves and white water channels.
The red course for intermediate participants will have
jumps and slides up to five or six metres high, with short
abseils and climbs, while the black course for experts and
serious thrill seekers will have abseils up to twenty metres,
jumps up to eight metres and slides
of ten metres all into crystal clear deep pools.
Deep Water Soloing
This
new cutting edge adventure sport involves climbing without ropes
above deep water.
Climbers will be able to ascend increasingly difficult pitches
above the deep pools of the canyoning centre, with falls of up
to ten metres waiting for those who slip!
The Scuba Diving Centre
Venture Xtreme will have the
