Frequently asked question about Water skiing

How do you learn to water ski?

How many cable parks are there in the Netherlands?
The Netherlands has 15 cable parks. With a length of between 600 and 1500 meters, a cable forms a large loop, which is attached to a number of masts along the course. The cable is pulled by an electric motor. The speed and length of the cable ski runs can vary. For example, some cable cars can increase speeds of up to 58 kilometers per hour. The speed is adjusted per water ski type (water ski, wakeboarding, etc.). For example, a speed with a wakeboard at more than 40 kilometers per hour is hardly possible. With a single water ski, however, speeds of up to 58 kilometers per hour are doable.

With a good speed you skim over the water. If you don't pay attention, you will fall down, resulting in a refreshing dive. Once you've mastered waterskiing, you can enjoy the speed and maybe even try some tricks!
