Wakeboarding
Wakeboarding in Scotland
One of the next generation of board sports, wakeboarding is equivalent to snowboarding on water. Keeping your head above water is your main objective as you are pulled along at between 18 and 23 mph behind a boat or being pulled by cable!
Wakeboards look like inverted snowboards. Instead of the board having a convex shape to it like a snowboard, it has a concave shape to it and instead of being shaped in a bridge like curve, a wakeboard is curved upwards like a rocking horse.
How to get started?
Water skiing and wakeboarding are both run by water sports centres, usually situated on the edge of lochs in Scotland where the water is calm(ish), all equipment is provided. Price varies: £20 for 15-20 mins
Where to wakeboard?
A lot of Scotland's centrally located fresh water lochs have water sports centres on them, where you can wakeboard. The best two we know are in Dunfermline at Water Ski Scotland [1]and Wild Diamonds on Tiree [2]. There is also a new centre at Loch Tay with Ultimate Limits
