Getting Started in Waterskiing/ Wakeboarding

To get started in Waterskiing/ Wakeboarding it is best to first get lessons from an Irish Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) affiliated club please click here for details on each club: Waterski Course Providers

Once you get up and going it is a good idea to progress with the club or where possible with some borrowed equipment before you go out and purchase expensive skis, ropes and boats.

Learning to waterski or wakeboard with a club/ an experienced skier who is willing to take you out has the added advantage of being the quickest way to progress.

Experienced skiers will be able to spot trouble spots and give you personalized tips on your skiing better than any online articles/ magazines etc.
