Board silly
 |
Wakeboarding is like snowboarding on water. With both feet strapped to a board up to 1.5m long, you’re pulled behind a speedboat or along a cable tow generating a ‘fat wake’, at speeds of around 20mph. Getting up on the board is easier han you might think, though be prepared for plenty of dunkings. Give it a try at John Battleday Water Ski next to Thorpe Park in Chertsey.(0870 606 1270/jbski.com )

Drive you crazy
Get down and dirty behind the wheel with ‘MudMaster’, an extreme test of vehicular skill and judgment. Vertiginous descents and deep water passes give you that authentic experience of off-road driving. Visit the specially designed course at Brands Hatch in Kent and pilot a Land Rover around its twists and turns.

On a roll
Fancy becoming a ‘zorbonaut’? Zorbing is a new craze in which you and a friend are strapped into a plastic sphere and rolled down a 120m slope. To make the ride wilder, add two gallons of water. If you’ve ever wondered what being inside a washing machine is like, find out at the zorbing park near Whyteleafe in Surrey.

Wonder walls
Ahouse made of waterfalls on the South Bank, Jeppe Hein’s highly popular interactive fountain, Appearing Rooms, returns for its third year
to the sunny terrace outside the Royal Festival Hall. Brave the random jets of water and move between constantly changing spaces contained within liquid walls – but be careful, as an unexpected rinse cycle for your clothes may only be a step away.
