Wakeboarding in April, without a boat

[robbo3]

We took some time out of spring break to spend a few days at Orlando Watersports Complex (OWC) riding the cable. This was our second year there, but for those that haven't, it's a great place to learn to ride and get quality water time in.

I was able to surprise my son a with private lesson with Shaun Murray, if you have the opportunity he's a class act and well worth the investment for kids learning to progress. Here are some photos from that session and the cable park.

Great shots. I am planning on starting my 5yr old out at the local cable park this spring. It was reccomeded to me that it is much eaiser for first timers than behind the boat.

Question... What is causing the wake in the first picture?

We did the lesson behind their Nautique G21.

Ah. Makes more sense. Wasn't thinking boat at cable park!

We started our kids with lessons at a cable park (no Shawn Murrary). They love it now behind the boat. The lessons helped them pop out of the water first try behind a boat.
