点评:My 2 sons aged 15 and 12 attended the beginners group session this morning.
Wow! What a fantastic facility and amazing staff who were so encouraging and attentative.
My 15 year old loved the group session on the main cable (slow session - which isn't really that slow!) and, as it was a small group of 10, he really got his money's worth with loads of go's, progressing from knee boards to the stand up wakeboards in the 2 hour session.
However, my 12 year old felt really anxious and wouldn't even entertain going on the knee boards on the main lake, despite being a competent skateboarder. I had pretty much resigned myself to having to accept that I'd lost the money paid for his booking but the manager and instructor were so accommodating and offered him a short 1 to 1 session on the 2 towers cable (a straight cable, with speed control, for one person at a time).
I honestly didn't think they would get him in the water but the instructor, Marcus, was incredible with my son and after 15 minutes (of the 30 he got) 1 to 1, he was standing on a wake board going up and down the cable. He felt such an immense sense of achievement and I couldn't thank the staff enough. I would recommend the 1 to 1 session for younger children on their first try and the group session for 14+ but, obviously, everyone is different and I'm sure there are younger ones that would be fine on the main course.
My youngest, who also gets super cold in the water, dried off in no time in the dry room with heat lamps afterwards. A really great addition to the facility.
Honestly, I am so impressed with the whole experience and real value for money. I would highly recommend it!
翻译:我 15 岁和 12 岁的两个儿子今天早上参加了初学者小组课程。
哇!多么棒的设施和令人惊叹的工作人员,他们如此鼓舞人心、细心。
我 15 岁的儿子喜欢主缆绳上的小组课程(慢速课程 - 其实并没有那么慢!),而且由于这是一个 10 人的小团体,他真的物有所值,在 2 小时的课程中从跪板进步到站立式滑水板。
然而,我 12 岁的儿子感到非常焦虑,尽管他是一名熟练的滑板运动员,但他甚至不愿意在主湖上玩跪板。我几乎已经接受了我为他预订支付的钱会损失的事实,但经理和教练非常通情达理,并让他在 2 塔缆绳上进行了一次简短的一对一课程(直缆绳,速度控制,一次供一个人使用)。
说实话,我没想到他们会让他下水,但教练马库斯对我儿子非常好,一对一指导了 15 分钟(他总共 30 分钟),他站在滑水板上沿着缆绳上下滑行。他感到了巨大的成就感,我对工作人员的感谢之情溢于言表。我建议第一次尝试的小孩参加一对一课程,14 岁以上的小孩参加团体课程,但显然每个人都不一样,我相信有些小孩在主课程上会没事的。
我最小的孩子在水中也会觉得非常冷,但之后在干燥室里用加热灯很快就把身体擦干了。这是设施的一个非常棒的补充。
说实话,我对整个体验和物有所值印象深刻。我强烈推荐它!
