WAKE PARK.

Kneeboard, water-ski or wakeboard.

Learn to kneeboard, water-ski or wakeboard here in Rother Valley Country Park at the North of England's BIGGEST Cable Wake Park!

Our full-size cable system is great for groups, you can ride at the same time as your friends and when you fall off, just swim or walk back to the dock to have another go!

Cable Sessions

If you’re new to cable riding, check out our introductory cable sessions which include a safety brief at the start of the session. If you just want to book time on the cable and are an experienced wakeboarder you can book any of our cable sessions. For younger riders our Sunday morning and school holiday Junior Riders Sessions are a great place to start learning to kneeboard, water-ski or wakeboard!

Please check our opening times page for further details and for more information on the timing of our slower speed sessions.

“The cable is constantly running, when you fall off, just swim or walk back to the dock for another go!”

We’re a full-size cable system with 8 carriers on the running cable around the lake, up tp 8 people can ride together at any one time, and to 30 can book onto a session together. If you fall off, just swim or walk back to the dock for another go!

  • Kneeboarding

    Kneeboarding is a great way for beginners and newcomers to cable riding to get started on the cable - its the easiest way to learn how to start from the dock and the easiest why to learn to get around the corners of the cable system.

    Kneeboard hire is included and available on all of our sessions.

  • Water-skiing

    On the cable, water-skiing is a fun progression from kneeboarding. Give it a go once you can get around the corners of the cable system on a kneeboard. It’s great for when you’re not quite ready to hire a wakeboard but still want to improve your skills and get used to standing up on the water.

    Water-ski hire is free (subject to availability) on all of our sessions.

  • If you haven’t been before, you will need to book one of our Introductory Cable sessions. The sessions are the same as our normal sessions but include a safety brief and basic instruction on how to set off from the dock and ski around the course on a kneeboard at the start of the session – you are then free to try it yourself!.

  • All newcomers to Full Size Cable will need to take part in one of our safety briefs, please book one of our beginner sessions so that your session includes a safety brief at the start.

    Please let the instructor know if you are not a total beginner to waterskiing or wakeboarding.

  • We do recommend learning to kneeboard first, even if just to do two laps of the cable to get the hang of the corners (the corners on a full size cable are very different to turning around at the end of a straight line cable).

    We are affiliated to the BWSW and this is the preferred method of progression on cable (because people learn slightly quicker if they start with their centre of gravity low on a kneeboard).

  • Please speak to one of our operators BEFORE attempting the features.

    Most of the our hire wakeboards cannot be taken over the park features – please ask for more info at reception about boards that can be used.

  • Please arrive at least 30 mins before your session start time. Please ensure that all participants have signed our form before arrival.
