Wakelagoona

by BORDEAUX CONFIDENTIEL | Nov 20, 2019 | SPORT

Bordeaux is a sports city... A city where you had no trouble finding your athlete spot. Yes because I know, that toned body, those concrete thighs... You run, walk, bike... Sport is in your blood and your heart demands pulsing, cadenced intentions.

So in our « WE TESTED FOR YOU » theme, today, I tested WAKEBOARD for You.

What do you mean you did Wakeboard?

At Wakelagoona near Virelade @wakelagoonaplus. Wakeboard is a two-universe world. Two universes sharing the ways to practice but united by the same pleasure.

Let me explain: you can wakeboard using a cable (cablepark or téléski) or being towed by a boat. The pleasure is comparable between these two ways, still, being towed by a boat is, for me, more intense and thrilling.
Remember this tip: Don't fight the boat, it always wins! (however strong you are...).

Wakelagoona is a bohemian place where real pros guide you. You can try many sports without assistance, this one is demanding and without minimum tips, you may stay « beak in the water »... That's where Wakelagoona stands out: the team is made of seasoned, endearing pros who'll take care of You (Laurent Delacroix, French team captain 1998-2000 and current French U-team coach, and Tom Gradt to name them, competitors and BP Jeps graduates).

At Wakelagoona you're family, enjoying the place, ping-pong, trampoline, pétanque activities and of course a cablepark and two wake boats.

After your session, smile guaranteed and possible soreness 🙂
If a bit hungry, food options are available on site.

With practice, you can try wakeskate... But that's another story, even if without feet it's way more fun 🙂

All that to say this sport is closely tied to the universe where practiced, so Wakelagoona is where you must test wakeboard for Bordeaux Confidentiel 🙂

No value judgment here, Laurent always an eye on the rearview to care for you.

Thanks to Laurent and his team for precious tips and kindness. See you soon.
