The Watersports Library thrives on a unique community-driven model where both the gear is donated by our passionate members and then circulated within the community. This approach not only promotes sustainability but also fosters a strong sense of camaraderie among watersports enthusiasts. By donating equipment, members contribute to a growing collection that benefits beginners and experts alike, ensuring everyone has access to the gear they need. It’s a wonderful way to give back, share the love of watersports, and help others enjoy the thrill of the water. Join our community today and be a part of this rewarding cycle of sharing and exploration in the watersports world!

We stock a wide range of equipment for various watersports, including surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and more. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, you’ll find the gear you need to dive into your next aquatic adventure.

Wetsuits, dry bags and electric pumps cost a bit more if you want to borrow them, but no other additional fees. 

Absolutely! Our volunteers are here to help you choose the best equipment for your skill level and the type of activity you’re interested in. Remember though, we aren’t professionals, just enthusiasts.

Our team tries hard to maintain and inspect all equipment to ensure it meets our high standards for safety and performance. Before any item is loaned out, it undergoes a thorough check to guarantee it’s in good condition for your safety and enjoyment.

Returning your borrowed equipment is as easy as borrowing it. Simply spray off your gear with fresh water, towel dry it and bring the items back to the junction leisure centre by the end of your borrowing period. If you have any questions about returning equipment, our staff are here to assist you.
