The 10 best cable parks for wakeboarding in Italy (+ full list)

What is cable wakeboarding

Cable wakeboarding is one of two ways through which wakeboarding can be practiced. This alternative, which is more economical and environmentally friendly than the more classic boat tow, is suitable for everyone, both beginners, who thanks to the two-pole systems can easily practice the sport, and the more experienced, thanks to the Full Size Cable systems, where the presence of several towers allows more riders to ride the circuit at the same time.
