Why wakeboard behind a
cable tow on a lake?
The perfect conditions provided by the fresh-water lake which
is protected by mature trees means that this is the ideal location
to learn how to wakeboard without having to rely on a boat or
waiting for perfect conditions at sea. The cable can be used whatever
the weather and is the most accessible way to get into wakeboarding.
The system has been engineered so that riders enjoy the benefit
of continuous riding by making a figure of eight style turn so
giving the opportunity to practice your skills without having
to stop and start.

Who can go wakeboarding?

Does it matter that I have never been on a wakeboard before and
have no equipment?
Absolutely not. Wakeboarding behind the Sesitec System 2.0 is
ideal for absolute beginners as well as the more experienced rider.
Learners will find it easier to get on their feet than being towed
behind a boat ....and if you wipe out, you don't have to wait
for the boat to turn round and give you the rope to start again.

Is wakeboarding
a safe sport?
Your safety is our priority and we will do everything possible
to make sure that you are relaxed and comfortable and have a great
time.
Full instruction from our BWS qualified and experienced wakeboarding

and gradually building your confidence in a non-intimidating and
relaxed atmosphere. Wetsuit, wakeboard, vest and helmet hire are

All users will wear a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet. There
is also a safety boat on the lake, as well as firstaid trained
staff.
