Whether you're new to the water or chasing your next thrill, there's something for everyone.
- 2 skis — The classic way to start your waterski journey. This is stable, balanced, and beginner-friendly.

- Wakeboard — The ultimate blend of skate, snow, and surf. You will learn to carve, jump, and spin behind the wake.
