What is a cable park?

A cable park pulls riders who want to kneeboard, wakeboard, water ski, wake skate or foil board around a lake by a high-tech pulley system instead of a boat. The pulley system picks up ropes from the starting dock and pulls riders in a circle around the lake. Riders can utilize the ramps and rails on the sides of the lake to try new tricks.

Do I need any experience in watersport to come to shark wave park?

No! We have trained staff to help you with any watersport for the first time. Whether you just want to take some tips from the operator at the starting dock or get one-on-one lessons from one of our coaches, we have what you need to make your first experience a success.

How old do I have to be to ride?

You must be at least 10 years old to ride the cable. If you are under 10 years old and it’s your first visit to Shark Wake Park, you will be required to take a mandatory Cable Safety Lesson. This is a pass or fail class with an instructor. The cost includes 45 minutes of on-water instruction and 15 minutes of off-water training. Once you pass you will be noted in the system and deemed safe to ride with others. Rider will get a complimentary 2-hour pass with successful completion of the Cable Safety Lesson.
