THE SCHOOL

The school has been providing coaching and water sports activities since 1989. These activities, listed in detail in the following pages, are as varied as the many people that participate so regularly in them.

Coaching is available for just about all types of skiing such as Wakeboard, Slalom, Trick, Barefoot, and Kneeboard, and for all levels of ability.

Beginners receive expert coaching that ensures their first time on the water is safe, enjoyable, and successful. Experienced and competition skiers are looked after as well with expert coaching, great conditions, and first class equipment. The school has seen many of its students become state and national champions just as it has seen many people enjoy the fantastic leisure activities available.

High profile riders and skiers are called upon to assist coaches in the running of special clinics such as advanced wakeboarding, trick skiing, slalom, junior beginners, and ladies only activities.

If you don’t require any coaching, then just book some time on the water without the coaching. Decide to ski, or ride, go sightseeing, or get a group together for some fun on the Big Banana and Tubes. So many choices, why not try them all.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

Coaches are qualified and accredited by the Australian Coaching Council and the Australian Water Ski Federation. The Chief Coach, Les Walters, has extensive experience as a Physical Trainer, Ski Coach, Professional Boat Driver, and Competitor. He is also a qualified Commercial Ships Master, and is Blue Card accredited to work with children.

GEAR

We use Connelly Skis and CWB wakeboards for the best in performance. Numerous sizes are on hand to suit most people. If you have your own gear, bring it along as most people are more comfortable on their own gear. We will still check to see if your gear is set up correctly for you. By using the right gear you give yourself the best opportunities to improve while staying safe.

BOATS

The boats comply to Queensland Transport Marine Survey Regulations, and are skippered by qualified and accredited commercial masters.

The school has recently added the World Record Tow Boat, the Malibu LXi, to its fleet. This boat has the wakes that wakeboarders crave, while at higher slalom speeds the wake all but disappears providing the ultimate slalom wake.

PerfectPass® speed control, a learners bar, the Malibu wedge, and a tower provide the finishing touches. With seating for up to 8 people, it is perfect for a group that wants to ride from the boat.

LOCATION

In Brisbane most lessons are provided on the flat water of the Brisbane River. The winding nature of the river ensures that flat water is the norm rather than the exception.

Coaching is also available in your own boat at half the usual price. Perfect if you have a regular crew as they can all benefit and share the cost.

Live outside of Brisbane? Get a group together and have a coach come to you. Decide what areas you would like to receive coaching in such as wakeboarding, or barefoot, what time of the year suits you best, and then contact us for coaches availability and costs.

For Birthday Parties, Social Clubs, and Private Functions, activities can be provided at a location of your choice – conditions permitting. Activities can be provide from your own pontoon, a nearby riverside park, or even a trip away to a nearby dam or lake.

INSURANCE

Comprehensive public liability insurance is in place for your peace of mind. This is not insurance for personal accidents. All water sports activities carry inherent risks. These risks can be reduced, but not eliminated, by learning proper techniques, using the right gear, being at a safe location, and having the right attitude. We put your safety first. Should you have any concerns about the safety of our activities, or our boats, please feel free to discuss them with a coach or driver.
