Cable Wakeboarding
Cable Wakeboarding has been around for over 30 years now, originally originating in Germany, and is essentially a tow lift round a lake, there are a few subtle differences between this and boat riding, including the height of the pull, meaning aerials like the raley are easier to perform, as well as the plethora of sliders (rails) and kickers (ramps) that are now available in most cable parks, making cable wakeboarding a super fun experience for riders and spectators alike!

Getting Started
When first starting on a wakeboard cable, it is always recommended to get a lesson. We'd strongly recommend starting on a 2 point cable to get the hang of going round corners first before progressing on to a bigger 4 or 5 point cable
