Apart from the multiple of things to do in the town itself, including award-winning museums, parks, gardens, leisure facilities, shopping and nightlife, the location situated on the edge of the Cotswold and the rolling Wiltshire countryside means you’ll be spoilt for choice for things to do whether its getting those ski’s on and hitting the waves, or brushing up on your online casino skills in the hope to get lucky and win big, you will never experience boredom at this location. Wakeboarding WMSKi is an operating Sesitec System 2.0 Wake park which operates a 2.0 system containing a 9 meter high tower cable system which allows one rider on the water at a time. The configuration is a great way for beginners to learn as the upward pull makes the start effortless, and the speed of the cable can be adjusted by the operator for assistance. Other than being great for beginners, it can also help riders of all levels who aim to perfect a 360 off the kicker, pressing a rail, your first raley or that s-bend to blind! All this is helped by being coached one-to-one with one of our instructors.
