Riding

What age do I have to be to ride the GC Wake Park?

GC Wake Park is for riders of all ages from 6 years and up. Those under 16 need to be accompanied to the park by an adult and be able to ride independently.

Do we need to book?

Yes, online bookings are required to ensure you don’t miss out. Spots are limited.

For the Wakeboard Introduction Lession & Foil Academy, we highly recommending booking in advance to secure your spot.

Do I have to sign a waiver?

Anyone wanting to ride at GC Wake Park must watch the safety video, register an account and sign the waiver. Riders under 16 will need a parent or guardian to sign the waiver. We strongly recommend that this is done before arriving at the park to save time.

Is the park open today?

Our opening hours change with the seasons and if there are any special events. Go to the Hours & Contact page for the complete listing.

How many obstacles are there?

We’re always tweaking and refining the lake so riding doesn’t become stale. At the moment we have a lake full of obstacles all hand picked from Unit Parktech made in Germany for beginner to advanced riders to hit on the main cable.

What sort of obstacles are there?

We have a range of kickers, sliders and combo boxes of varying skill levels. Our obstacles are designed and built by wakeboarding – and specifically cable wakeboarding – professionals who have spent countless hours building, testing and riding the best setups in the world.

What is the capacity and how many laps can I do?

There is a maximum of eight riders on the main cable at once and one rider on the System 2.0. During busy periods we will cap the maximum number of laps per take-off to 3 full laps so that everyone can rotate around and get a fair go. You can line up to ride as many times as you want in your allocated ticket period.

What's the difference between boarding school and progression sessions?

Boarding school is for beginners who want to start wakeboarding and learn how to cut laps around the lake. Our coaches are able to provide lessons for people who have never wakeboarded at a cable park before.

Progression sessions are for those who already know the basics but want to take their skills to the next level. These coaching sessions are more personalized and when you start the program you are issued with a full ?? page skill book that was developed by 3-time world wakeboard champion Daniel Watkins.

What's the difference between Rookie Class & Intermediate - Advanced Class?

If you are unsure which class to choose, it’s best to come see one of our friendly instructors at the front desk. They will be able to open up our Progression Sessions skills book and determine which level your riding is at.

Equipment

Can I hire equipment at the park?

Yes. Basic wakeboards and kneeboards are included in the price of your ticket. You also get the mandatory life vest. Please note that these wakeboards and kneeboards are not for use on any of our obstacles. We have obstacle boards for hire separately. Please also keep in mind that helmets are mandatory when riding the cable at all times. We have helmets available for hire or you may choose to bring your own.

Can I use my own board?

Yes, you can bring your own board. If you want to hit our obstacles, you will need to remove any removable fins. Please be aware that hitting obstacles may cause board damage for which GC Wake Park is not liable. Boards with footstraps are unable to be used on any obstacles.
