Spring has arrived, lockdown is easing and the pull of getting out on the water is strong. We’d love to know where your favourite spots are for water sports – with places to rent equipment close by. From kayaking or paddleboarding on a tranquil river, to windsurfing or kitesurfing from a beautiful beach (but not surfing, we’ll be covering that soon), tell us where floats your boat for water-based activities in the UK.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

Keep your tip to about 100 words

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Sawday’s property – the company has more than 3,000 in the UK and Europe. The best tips will appear on the Guardian Travel website, and maybe in the paper, too.
