Cable Wakeboarding, Taupo, NZ We have been operating in a man made lake beside the Waikato River. Our cable system is run by an electric motor, a cable runs between 2 towers with a ski handle pulling you. This becomes a big continuous figure 8 course. Whether you are a wakeboarder, skier, snowboarder or Kite Boarder you can ride our cable exactly like riding behind a boat, kite or snow but easier.
