Notes From The Watersports Participation Survey for 2017

May 30, 2017admin

There can be few more rewarding pastimes than spending time on the water, whether for sport or relaxation, but nobody in their right mind could claim it was a particularly cheap one. As such, like pretty much everything else in the world, it was badly affected by the recession. But now the worst appears to be behind us, increasing amounts of people are discovering or rediscovering their love of water sports and boating in general, according to the Watersports Participation Survey for 2017. This survey is an annual barometer of interest and participation in water-based leisure activities, and is conducted by a consortium of marine organisations including the Royal Yachting Association, the Marine and Coastguard Agency and the Royal National Lifeboat Institute. Although it’s probably not quite time yet to declare that it’s all plain sailing from here, with the potential economic instability due to Brexit, the news is still largely positive so far.

The Watersports Participation Survey for 2017

A total of over 14.3 million people, or more than a quarter of adults in the United Kingdom, participated in water-based leisure activities during the period of the survey. Young people in particular seemed to be feeling the call of the waves, with 1.54 million people aged between 16 and 34 taking part in boating activities. Physical activities such as kitesurfing, surfing, bodyboarding and standup paddle boarding continued their rise in popularity, with standup paddle boarding showing the greatest increase, as 176,000 new people took up the sport. However, motor boating kept its place in the top three marine leisure activities, behind yacht cruising and canoeing.
