It’s called Wake Nation Cincinnati and it is the first and only cable wake park in the Buckeye state – in fact, there are only six other cable wakeboarding parks in the entire USA (mostly in Florida and Texas.)
What makes the experience at Wake Nation so unique is that participants can wakeboard, water ski, and kneeboard WITHOUT A BOAT! Instead, they are pulled around a 10-acre lake at speeds of 18-20 miles per hour by a circulating cable system that runs 35 feet above the water.
Wakeboarding is already the country's fastest growing water sport and this new approach to the sport is sure to attract those without access to their own boats.
Wake Nation was designed from the ground up to provide the ultimate ride experience to both first timers and experienced boarders, says CEO Peter Kennedy. “Beginners love that wakeboarding at Wake Nation is fun, easy to learn, and allows everyone to progress at their own pace. Advanced riders love that they can amp up the adrenaline by doing air tricks they can’t behind a boat and by boarding off floating jumps and obstacles.” Riders can bring their own gear, or rent equipment -- including boards and wet suits -- at the park.
Wake Nation is now open and will operate daily all summer long from 10 a.m. to dark seven days a week through October.
Wake Nation is a “pay-as-you-
Cable passes are available in one hour ($20), two hour ($25), four hour ($30) and all-day ($35) increments.
Wake Nation is located at 201 Joe Nuxhall Way in Cincinnati’s Joyce Park in the northern suburb of Fairfield.
