The Perfect Winter Training Tool: Cable Parks!
Similar to kiteboarding, with the same pull angle and speeds - Cable Wakeboarding is as close as you can get to what we do. Basically, it's called 'cable' because instead of a boat, or kite pulling you around; there's an overhead cable which pulls riders either around a circuit, or back and forth down a channel.
Because so much is the same, and all the tricky bits like having a kite steering all over the sky, practicing your edging technique and riding toeside is easy! You'll learn how to edge hard, turn corners, and complete sketchy waterstarts. You can even try hitting your first ramps or rails. Cable parks have the best obstacles in the business set up on every lake, so you can hit them with relative safety.
Check out Jake Kelsick scoring a session at a Cable Park in Miami to see what it's all about below.
