Wakeboard

Waterpark

The Wake Park consists of a cable mechanism with a rope and handle attached. Riders are pulled over water around a course consisting of ramps, rails and walls which are used to perform tricks. Wakeboarding isn’t for the faint-hearted as riders are pulled on boards at up to 30kmh.
 
Wakeboard was introduced in the early ’80s and is often described as a cross between Waterski and Snowboard. Athletes attach their feet to the board and use it in both directions to facilitate the sequence of tricks which are judged according to difficulty and the height at which they are made. These can be launched on the modules arranged close to the line of the water ski lift, or by using only the momentum given by the latter.
