Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only teach certain levels of riding? Or can you teach anyone?
Answer: We can get anyone of any age out on the water and up on their wakeboard in no time. We are constantly teaching newcomers who have never even seen a wakeboard before! We also teach intermediate riders and even the pro riders too!
Do I need to bring my own gear?
Answer: Bringing your own gear will ensure the most amount of improvement as you will not have to become used to another board setup. However if this isn’t possible we have all the latest gearon offer from the leading brands on the market: Liquid Force Wakeboards, RipCurl, Tige Boats, ProWake and Hardline.
Can mum and dad come in the boat and watch?
Answer: Absolutely!!! We want your experience on the water to be comfortable and one to remember. Who better to experience this with you then your Mum or Dad!! Besides they can help you with all the tips that you learn on the day, next time you’re out on the water.
Will the wake be too big for me if I am just learning?
Answer: With the help of Tige’s Taps 2 and ballast system the wake is fully adjustable to suit your level of riding. If you need a small wake to ride switch or need the wake to be large for your first back roll, the wake can be customized within 3 minutes!!!
Is it cold in winter?
Answer: No. Well, not compared to most other parts in Australia. We have the comfort of perfect warm weather all year round. In winter the air temp is still around 21 to 24 degrees and the water temp doesn't drop below 18 degrees!
Are there any sharks?
Answer: In our ten year history riding in this area we have never seen a shark! But we do see lots of dolphins who like to swim up along side the boat!!
