Sociological theory on clubs as organized leisure groups is poor or fragmentary. There might be an ideological explanation for this poverty. A problem is also the diversity of the associational phenomenon. This paper is a plea for renewed theoretical interest in club life. Observations concerning watersport clubs are related to a theoretical model for production and consumption in leisure and a theory on general social development. Combinations of production and consumption within club life explain the logic of participation and functioning of the club. The theory of Habermas on social development serves as a reference for interpretation of changing relations between clubs and the state, and between clubs and the formal economy
