A cable park is a water park that uses an overhead cable system, with ropes hanging down, to pull riders along a designated course, allowing them to kneeboard, waterskii, and wakeboard without the need for a boat.
No experience required! We have a cable session for everyone!
First Timers with no experience should check out our Weekend Group Lessons. Instructors on the dock, slower speed 15mph, shuttle service for fallen riders. More info here.
Beginners/ Riders who want to skip the class check out the Weekend Slow Ride. Every Sat & Sun from 12pm-2pm we run the cable at 17mph, a little slower pace to make the corners and ramps a bit easier and more inviting.
Experienced Riders should come between 2pm-6pm when we operate at full speed 19 mph. Perfect for our seasoned vets and professional riders.
We provide all the necessary equipment, helmets, Coast Guard Approved Jackets, Kneeboards, Skiis, Wakeboards, and even wetsuits if you get chilly! You are welcome to bring your own gear as well! Surfers and Skimboarders, when the waves aren’t firing, you can ride them here too!
