What’s So Awesome About It
Wakeboarding is one of the fastest growing, sporting activities in Thailand and perfect for those that want to experience the thrill of surfing without having to take classes in learning how to balance. By mounting a board and holding on to a cable latched to a speeding boat, thrill seekers get to experience the rush of waves beneath their feet and maneuver the ocean in the wake of a speedboat.The water at the Bay is usually clear, warm and calming, so what are you waiting for?
What’s better, you don’t need to know how to swim in order to experience this adventure! Instructors working with Wakeboarding agents are thorough professionals and do a great job at training, assisting and monitoring your experience.

Typically a solo activity, this water sport requires a relatively high level of physical fitness. The activity is not suitable for kids, pregnant women, individuals suffering from skeletal or muscular ailments, seniors or otherwise.
