A cable park is a wakeboard and water-ski system that allows riders to participate without the need for a boat/PWC. The system uses cables to pull riders between the towers on either side of the lake. The cable system allows for a continuous ride and quick pick ups- meaning maximum time on the water and maximum fun.
When you fall at WHAT, a push of a button and the handle is immediately back in your hands. It is the “Green” alternative to riding, running solely on electricity and creating zero carbon emissions. Come for a rip, it might change your life!
The system consists of two towers that are placed on opposite sides of the lake with cables attached to each tower. Attached to the cables is a ski rope that pulls riders from one side of the lake to the other. When reaching the end of the cable, the rider cuts away from the cable and carries their momentum in a small semi-circle, and heads back the other direction.
Absolutely! Safety is WHAT’s priority. Our staff takes safety seriously. All riders will be required to wear a lifejacket and helmet while participating. All operators are fully trained and certified to deliver a safe and unforgettable experience.
Learning Environment
The cable system provides a consistent pull giving beginners the optimal learning environment. Riders learning behind a boat or PWC face variables such as inexperienced drivers, miscommunication, and the location of the ski rope. The cable system eliminates all these factors. The system has adjustable speeds for all levels of riders and always performs a constant pull off the dock (perfect for dock starts). In addition, the ski rope is connected to an overhead cable pulling the rider up and out of the water, rather than a dragging pull through the water that many boats deliver with their low ski pylons.
Maximum Water Time
“Practice Makes Perfect!” This saying is true about anything in life. The cable allows for maximum riding time. When you fall at WHAT, a push of a button gets you back up on the water immediately. There is no more waiting for the boat to turn around and come back to pick you up.
We are spoiled as Bush’s lake always offers perfect calm conditions eliminating the need to search for calm water.
