Progress of the activity

Supervised by professional and reassuring instructors, each participant progresses at their own pace. The session starts on the pontoon where the team equips you, reminds you of the safety rules and accompanies you in the first trials.

Your progression is step by step. Beginners pass successively through:

• Kneeboard: on knees, ideal for feeling the glide smoothly
• Water skiing: perfect for learning to turn and stabilize your trajectory
• Wakeboard: for those who want to vibrate with a real rise in sensations, with modules to slide

Each step depends on your comfort: nothing is imposed, everything is adapted to your progress. In case of a fall, no worries: ladders are arranged around the lake to easily ascend.
