First watersports park in the US with Tournament ski lake and cable wake park.

[wakeisland]

For those of you in northern California, we are about to open our doors to the general public on the cable side of things and have a few private ski lake memberships available at this time. This is a first of it's kind facility on the West Coast and one of the only parks world-wide with a cable and ski lake. For more information, check out our website at www.wakeislandwatersports.com or email us at info@wakeislandwatersports.com

World class ski lake with a brand new cable park. If you are in the area or just passing through, I highly recommend you stop by.

There is a pro shop with all the gear you need for rent or purchase to ride the cable. I tried it and was surprised how much fun it was.

They had a cable park @Razorskiers lake a few years back but it never took off.

[Edbrazil]

McCormicks has both, starting about 3 years ago. Also OWC Orlando, but not sure about boat-pulled jumping. Which they had back when the Pro Tour went there. The water ski lake is where the mens ski fly record of 299' was set by Jaret.

Texas Ski Ranch also has both. More known as a cable park but they are also a Mastercraft dealer with private lake.

Trophy Lakes now has a cable park on what I've heard called the "Class C lake."

[igkya]

Guess its not the 1st... The lake I ski at has a separate car park also.

[lpskier]

The funny thing at Trophy is that they probably net more money on disc golf than on skiing. They were smart to see the opportunity and capitalize on it as a way of enhancing revenue without increasing skier cost. Hey maybe the government should install disc golf on the White House lawn instead of raising taxes. I am writing my congressman now!

[wakeisland]

Sorry about that everyone, we meant to say 1st on the West Coast. The only other full-sized cable parks that also have an active waterski lake is McCormicks and Barefoot Ski Ranch. The great thing about the cable is it will finally allow us to put some much needed funds back into the ski lake, we feel they complement each other well.

[BraceMaker]

I agree!

 

@wakeisland - I feel like it is hard to get new folks started behind boats. So much easier if you can drag em back and forth for only a bit of $.

[Horton]

@wakeisland welcome to BallOfSpray. Your site is great. I have skied there and really enjoyed it.

 

The only problem you have is that @Dirt skis there. If you kick him out I am sure you could raise your prices.

[wakeisland]

We are not familiar with the nicknames here, who is @Dirt? We will see what we can do about kicking him out. :-)

[Horton]

@Dirt is the skier whose real name cannot be said. Tall thin skeleton of a man who runs 39 off and carries a gun. He has an old Mastercraft and skis with a history PhD who once stole my car.

 

Dirt is not very "Smart"

[Mateo_Vargas]

Dirt already kicked himself out. He's at Lake 1 now.

[thager]

@Horton Seems like everyone steals from you.

[Garn]

@wakeisland, what a killer site you have. Question for you. Is the ski lake open to visitors at all? I live in Utah but my mother-in-law lives in Lincoln and my sister-in-law lives in Rocklin. Both are just a stones-throw from your place. I've always hated going out there for a visit. But if I could ski that would make the visit a lot more enjoyable.

 

Thanks,

 

Garn

@garn your best bet is to go with a member as a guest. Myself I don't know of anyone other than Dirt who is still a member.

 

You could also hook up with me. I ski nearby.

[musclefixer]

Congrats, nice place. I ski on a similar site, just approved/opened for cable last yr. While wake island is larger., we have pretty nice ski lake and Cable for boarders also, well protected. 2hrs north of Sac. Check out www.reddingwakeboardandskipark.com .

[Garn]

@rodltg2 - If it wouldn't be a problem, next time we go out to California, I'd love to bring my ski and hook up with you. Thank you very much for the offer.

[Dirt]

@Garn next trip bring your ski. You are welcome to ski with us.

[Garn]

Thank you @Dirt. I will!! I'm suddenly looking forward to the next inlaw visit. :)

There is a cable park now in Valdosta, GA - that has plans to possibly stretch an exisitng lake on the site and offer slalom too - which would be great for this area (I need ski buddies). Exit 13 on I75
