Ever heard of Cable Wakeboarding? It’s like snowboarding, but on water; like waterskiing, but without the boat; like a skateboard park but with a softer landing – there’s many ways you could describe it – but all you really need to know is it’s a really fun and exciting water sport that anyone who’s a confident swimmer and aged 7+  can learn quickly and go on to progress at their own pace.

And did you know Peterborough has its own dedicated WakePark with equipment hire and everything you need to learn how to wakeboard?  Peterborough WakePark is located on Beeby’s West Lake in Hampton Water on the South side of Peterborough.

We run a two-tower cable system operated by our friendly and expert instructors, the cable pulley system takes you across the clean, clear lake at you own pace, so you can learn to wakeboard with one-to-one individually tailored tuition.

Our wakepark includes a range of features to keep all levels of rider progressing in a safe fun environment. We are passionate about the sport and wakeboard every chance we get.  

If you’ve never tried, come and have an go! It’s great fun and great exercise.
