North Devon Wake Park

The Aquapark is the only one of its kind in Devon and great fun for all the family consisting of trampolines, slides, logs, running mats, climbing frames, balance or rock, as an individual or as a team!

Wakeboarding is an amazing sport you can have a go no matter the weather and always have perfect conditions to learn on. Cable wakeboarding is similar to skateboarding and snowboarding, but on water where an overhead cable pulls you along! Ringo rides can also happen on the cable where you lie on a large inflatable ring and get pulled along!
