Did it once before (In the depths of winter) and loved it.

Its still a very tough sport to find places that supply the equipment and lessons if you don't have your own gear.

Watermark Wakeboarding in Portumna

Yep, I'm interested in. But I didn't find any wakeboard rental (or speedboat with driver). I could buy wakeboard, but I don't want to buy a speedboat

bit of an old thread to bring up but for those looking to wakeboard by renting board,boat and driver, IASC in Moynalvey,Co Meath do it.Eamonn Prunty is the guy that runs the place. This has been discussed on here before so should be some older threads on it.

Not sure I understand.I think an individual session is about 45 euro and a membership for the year is 350,not quite sure

googled them just now. http://www.wakeboardingwaterskiing.com/

Dunno where you are going with the per minute rate but last year it was €60/session for non members in portumna, they do deals for members and they have an all-you-can-ski/board rate as well.

The session lasts about 15 mins (? never actually counted), but this is flexible in that they tend to leave it on a good note - i.e. if it takes a couple of minutes extra for you to get a move then they are relaxed about it...

i do it in barry galvins club in cork (www.waterskiireland.com)! just back from cwc in the philippines (www.cwcwake.com) about a week now. hope to get out over the weekend but it will be alot colder than cwc. its a great sport but can be expensive when riding boat. Last year it was €500 membership then €15 for 15mins. Hope it doesnt go up!

Downey what is cwc like?
Do a week of 2 solid riding behind a cable boost your riding much?
Are you pulling raley's or anything yet? Obvious trick I know but they seem to be the stock cable trick.

For those guys who were looking somewhere to board there's also Lough Muckno in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan. Only an hour from Dublin. Have boats and gear that you can use, including wetsuits, vests, boards, skis etc. but you can bring your ow if you have it.

Full time driver from May to October who drives six days a week. Closed Wednesdays but sometimes members are around to drive in the evening if the weathers ok so call to check first.

Runs (10 mins) cost €35/€40 for non members and are around €15 for members but depends on time of day (cheaper before 6pm Monday- Friday). Memberships are €400 for adult members, €200 for students and either €100/150 for kids, not totally sure (kids aged 16 & under).

Also have a banana boat which can be great craic if there's a group of you.

Check out:

or call 087 7402806 (or 00353 877402806 from the North/UK)

I think The club in ortumna might be the closest to you, check them out at: http://www.irishwaterski.com/

But this weekend Lough Muckno waterski and Wakeboard club, check them at www.skimuckno.com, are holding an open day on Sunday, non members only and it's €10 for a run wakebooarding or skiing. Great chance for people who have never done it before to try for cheap.
