Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing

Catalog description

This class is designed for students who want to learn (or improve their skills at) wakeboarding and wake surfing on beautiful Cayuga Lake. Enjoy time on the water with fellow students, cheer each other on as you learn and practice water sports that connect your mind and body (and fill you with enjoyment), and improve your fitness as you fulfill a PE credit. If you have snowboarded or skateboarded and always wanted to try surfing or wakeboarding, this course is for you. Or if you have always wanted to try a watersport but haven't had the chance, you will find a welcoming environment to try out something new and fun for you. Class consists of six three-hour sessions on the lake with a class size of six (or fewer students) each session, giving you at least 30 minutes of practice every class. We have a GoPro set up to capture your riding so that you can analyze your footage and learn from what you did well and what you can improve. The boat will depart from the Merrill Family Sailing Center each class (transportation to and from there is not provided). Students must have completed the university swim requirement.
