wakeboarding
One of the most exhilarating watersports, where the sky is the limit. closely linked to surfing and snowboarding, it has quickly become hugely popular thanks to its freedom and fluidity
A little bit about wakeboarding at Camel Ski School…and learning the ‘Camel Ski’ way…
Wakeboarding is a surface water sport where you are pulled behind a boat and skim the surface of the water. The wakeboard is a short rectangular board with two boot bindings - a cross between a snowboard and a skateboard.
Although it is not as established as waterskiiing, wakeboarding is now extremely popular. Along with carving motions, wakeboarders have developed their own exciting tricks both on the water’s surface and in the air!
At Camel Ski School, we have a range of boards and bindings to suit all ages and skill levels, so can accommodate adults and children of all sizes. We can coach absolute beginners who are interested in trying it out for the first time, to advance boarders who are keen to perfect their technique. Whatever your goal, our qualified boat drivers/coaches can help you achieve it.
Sessions Available To Book: We run three type of sessions - all with UKCCL2 tuition:
- a 15 Minute Tow - this is best suited to people who can already ski to Level 3 in our 'Camel Ski Way'.
- a 20 Minute Progression Session - sometimes a standard tow is just not long enough - this extended session allows you to have that little extra time on the water to improve your skills or perfect a certain trick.
- a 30 Minute Beginner Session - the one to book if you are an absolute beginner. This session includes a detailed land lesson within the 30 minute session per person. We use the 'Camel Ski Way' to fast track your learning experience, a copy of this Progression Booklet is included in the price and is given to each candidate at the end of the lesson. Once you have had one beginner lesson you should be able to book onto a 15 minute tow - but please check with your Instructor as to what they advise.
Please note - if you are booking a one person tow you will need to bring along a responsible companion to act as your 'spotter'. They do not require any former experience to do this and you do not need to book them in.
