CJM Ski and Wake

The best place for a family day out on the lake. No matter your level, Chris and Elle ensure you have a wonderful experience.

Great for mono skiing, wake and paddle boarding. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced.

I've had several lessons with Chris now and I love his coaching style. I always leave really buoyed up about my wakeboarding and knowing that I can easily practice what I've learnt. I feel very safe in Chris's hands and would strongly recommend his coaching to anyone, beginners and improvers alike. He and Elle have got a great setup in Burghfield and I couldn't be happier that they're now just up the road from me!

Wonderful venue for swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, water skiing and wake boarding. Chris and Elle are really friendly and welcoming, as well as knowledgeable about the activities they provide. All their staff are just as knowledgeable and friendly. Really lovely place to visit whatever the weather. Highly recommend!

Great coach for all levels, even for an old lapsed skier. The passion he puts into this sport is one that we haven't seen since the days of great british skiers (even though he's a kiwi). This new venture is something to behold - it's a great lake; JB will tell you that. Many great names have skied here and this, in my opinion, is what the sport needs - a coach like Chris and a lake like this to get this sport back on the map. What could be better than having a residential ski club - ski, hotel, bar: it's near on perfect. As for Chris' coaching style; I've never met a more passionate and intricate coach than him, he really does see the tiny details that help you improve. I was taught by a great but non-qualified coach when I was 16 and probably learnt a few bad habits and took many years off the sport, but Chris got me up and running in no time, constantly telling me what I should improve rather than towing me along for cash.I would definitely recommend CJM and together with this lake, you can't go wrong. let's get wet!

Chris has taught me how to wakeboard, wakeskate, and wakesurf over the years, and he has helped me progress quickly. His experience shows by spotting ways to improve your riding no matter what the sport. He is also a good mentor, guiding me through the UKCC L2 Waterski and Wakeboard Coach qualification. Thoroughly recommended!

Chris is the best instructor! I had never wake boarded before and was really nervous but he put me right at ease and I was able to stand up really quickly! He is friendly, professional and so encouraging! I can’t wait to go back!

Great water ski experience with Chris. A friendly laid back atmosphere, with a terrific pro shop on site. North/South lake orientation means the lake is usually sheltered from the usual westerly winds, so flat water is pretty much guaranteed. Chris is a great coach, and is genuinely interested in improving your ability, whether you're a beginner or seasoned pro. Highly recommend visiting here, you'll have a great time.

Chris gave me some great ski boat driving lessons and then I took my Ski Boat Level 2 license with them. Really lovely people, a great little lake in a secluded location and their equipment is great.I'm sure I'll be back.Thank you
