In cooperation with our partner “Wake Up Dresden”, we run a wakeboarding course at the wakeboard facility in Dresden Leuben.
Wakeboarding involves standing sideways to the direction of travel on a board and being pulled in a circle above the water by a lift. Due to the speed of the lift and the buoyancy of the water, you surf over the water, so to speak. By shifting your body weight, you can change direction and make turns.
The special feature of the wakeboard facility in Dresden is not only the numerous kickers (jump ramps) but also the fact that the direction of travel is clockwise. The rope runs at a constant speed of 27 km/h and can be increased to 30 km/h.
The course is primarily intended for beginners. In the 5 units, you will learn how to start, ride safely and corner safely at a low speed to begin with. As the course progresses, in addition to safe riding, the first rails and jumps are also on the agenda.
All equipment is provided for the course. Apart from a bathing suit and towel, you don't need to bring anything.
If you have your own equipment and prefer to ride with it, you are of course free to do so.
!!! Prerequisite: swimming ability, course language is German !!!
