Further information

Participants are asked to be at the entrance of the store of Dock 5 at least 30 minutes before the start of the course, so that the rental equipment can be selected appropriately. This way, the course can start on time at the beginning of the track rental. After this workshop, if you have made good progress, you can continue riding directly at the wakeboard meeting point at the 6-mast facility. This possibility is available at reduced rates: 2 hours 23 Euro. Our instructors will support you with tips and hints even after the transfer to the 6 mast facility. We will try to arrange carpooling in advance. The booking should be made at least 10 days before the offer, because if the number of registrations is too low, the track and thus the workshop will be cancelled!
