Wakeboarding on Lake Davos once started as a crowdfunding project. Today it has a permanent place in the summer program: the season runs from mid-June to early September.
A light tug on the arms - and suddenly there is a powerful jolt that catapults the wakeboarder into the water. It splashes and splashes. You fall in. After a few meters, the first ride for beginners is already over. Everyday life at normal wakeboarding facilities. Different on Lake Davos. With a 190 meter long ride area, the temporary facility at WakeWeeks Davos is not only one of the longest water ski lifts in operation.
The special feature is a sophisticated two-mast system: the constant upward pull of the rope makes riding easier. And what beginners and professionals appreciate equally: there is only one rider on the water at a time and the lift operator can adjust the speed to suit each rider's individual ability. Even Californian surfer Tony Finn would be proud of that. Incidentally, he invented wakeboarding in the mid-80s.
