any wake style riders or wakeboarders counting the days till the wakepark is open????
hoping my north gambler will work well riding cable if not i just bought a ronix bill just incase
yeah im frothing for an update. they've been very quite. I thought it was supposed to open a month ago.
apparently its up and running but just not open to the public yet. they keep posting pics of them having empty shred sessions on there facebook the bastards
The park is located in Baldivis I think.
Their website (perthwakepark.com.au/) is going live this tuesday and they are selling a limited number of annual memberships. From there the first few weeks of the park being open is exclusively for annual membership holders only and then the park is open to plebs a few weeks later.
This was the info that came through in the FB group anyway.. If you want accurate info (cause my memory SUCKS) just lookup Perth Wake Park on facebook and you can get the details there
I've been lucky enough to be doing some "quality assurance testing" of the system for a few weeks now while finishing off the last of the jobs prior to opening to the public. The website should go live today allowing you to purchase a limited number of season passes to get exclusive use of the park for 2 weeks before opening to the public. You'll have to stump up the cash today to get your pass. Trust me it's well worth it. It's been a long time coming and the guys have done a fantastic job.

See you down there.
$1000. for a season pass.. ouch..
$1600 for a 12 months a season pass

how'd you score that gig????
yeah year pass is pretty pricey looks like im going to have to wait another 2 weeeks
The same blokes that own 5 kites and 3 boards bitching about $1600. If you haven't got the dosh or don't plan on going enough to justify it cool but the rate for a season pass is the going rate and it's fair. Penrith for example is like $1300 for 9 months.
Perth isn't the Philippines. Last time I checked you can't pay your staff $2 a day here. You wouldn't get too many nights out in Perth for $1600 but I know where I'd rather spend my money.
Come check it out and have a go before you decide for yourself.

By working onsite nearly every Saturday since May. I really admire what the guys have done and I love riding cable...
Bummer you haven't got the cash to splash out on a pass but we'll see you down there soon.

If you love your cable and head down 2 to 3 times a month.
It's less than 50 bucks a ses.
And if you ride twice a week it's less than $16 a session so if you're a keen rider it's great value.

True story
so good to see some frothers have a crack at making their dream a reality!
i'm a nor person and surfer but will definitely try to get out there a few times a year once up and running. make sure ya'll spread the word and get people out there to check it out! yeww, looks sick, and like heaps of work has gone in, respect.
all the best fellas
I've seen lots of kiteboards at the park lately. Everyone seems to be really stoked on the setup. Definitely getting my money's worth!
Bit of a thread revival but I was riding my kiteboard at PWP over the weekend and it made me think of this thread. My Watson Hybrid was in in for repair after shorting a rooftop transfer so I took my Tona Flow out for a ride for a laugh. It goes surprisingly well. The ricker line ins't bad and the flex is about right for cable. It's maybe a bit soft between the boots and flat landings are a harsher than by cable board but it's pretty good. All in all, I'd rather be on my cable board but it worked well enough and is tough enough for slider hits for sure.
I've seen lots of kiters down there lately. It's cold and windless (mostly) at the moment so it's ideal for cable. Put in my pre-order today for 2016 LF Peak and Ultras too. See you down there.
This has reminded me that I have a day pass still valid down there! Must head down again soon, Cheers!
+1 for wake park ended up getting a winter pass definitely exceeded my expectations. My first session it took me so long to have the balls to throw a raley, ended up just edging for ages before releasing surprisingly went well until I reached the corner....
has certainly put the validity of my basic 'railey' into question. teaches a thing or two about what these tricks are really supposed to be. hopefully by summer the cable will have made my version a bit more legit.

All manufactures seemed to have been hard at work developing the PRICE. Everything has gone up. Those are very different boards. The peak is the stiffest. The Tao is nice but too flexy for me. The raph is too flat and lacks channels but everyone likes something different. I ride a 2015 Watson Hybrid 143. I ordered a 2016 Peak 145 for next year.
Demo as always.
^Hit me up if ur selling the watson next year I will need to upgrade to an actual wakeboard for the off season pass next year.
