Wakeboarding with S2AS

Few water sports are as exciting as wakeboarding. Developed on the heels of the snowboarding craze, wakeboarding involves riding a wakeboard usually with fins and boots for the feet pulled by a boat at speeds of around twenty miles per hour. The wakeboard rider uses techniques of waterskiing, snowboarding and surfing to cut across the wake of the motor boat and jump into the air and performing acrobatics on the board much like a snowboarder.

In England there are excellent areas to pursue the sport of wakeboarding. One such location that affords excellent conditions for this sport is Camber Sands. Those new to the sport can learn on a large costal lake just outside of Kent where wakeboarding lessons are given for those from the novice to the professional level. Once instruction is complete wake boarders can head for the open water just off the beach for more exhilaration on the waves from this exciting sport.

Poole is another area that has excellent conditions for wakeboarding. Located in the south of Britain, Poole Harbour is perfect for the pursuit of water sports. Wakeboarding is no exception. There are many days when the wind is quiet and wake boarders abound. There are also times at where the wind is up and more challenge can be found as the cresting waves thrill wakeboarders and kite surfers alike.

In both locations Surface 2 Air Sports is the dealer of choice for wakeboarding equipment and instruction. With wakeboards, vests, ropes, and other gear for the novice to the experienced wake boarder Surface 2 Air Sports has all that the wakeboard aficionado needs in a location that is convenient to the awesome wakeboarding areas.

In addition to wakeboarding there are other sports of kite surfing, wind surfing, waterskiing and the like that wakeboarders may choose to try. It is difficult to beat wakeboarding however for continual enjoyment in the water not only for the wakeboarder but also the group of friends in the boat or on the beach.
