Cairns Wake park, Cairns

Not fun if your a beginner. There is only one launching stage where everyone starts off but it is really made for intermediate and above because the cable speed that it pulls you with is too fast and intimidating for beginners. Add to that the pressure from others waiting in line watching you face plant or fall on your back in the water every time really can be demoralizing so you don't really learn much from your previous attempts. Ideally they should have another staging area for beginners using a much slower cable speed so you can slowly get used to standing on the wakeboard while holding onto the cable pulling ever so fast. I consider myself pretty good with my balance having skateboard for 7 years and good at roller blading/ ice skating but this was not much fun when you can't even get started.

We are visiting from NZ and took our son. He loved it and can't wait to go back. The staff were all very friendly and helpful....... highly recommend.
