‘More than 50 riders travelled to compete against each other and local brands got behind the event to offer exclusive prizes to winning categories.’

The Southern Cable Series Tour was set up by Walsh and Aung to provide a competition platform for amateur and professional wakeboarders to compete against each other in a friendly, fun environment.

The Tour is in its second year and more and more wake parks are getting involved to take part and put the fun back into fitness.

It shows the sport is becoming increasingly popular with lots going on around the south.

Hilsea’s watersports centre offers wakeboard and stand-up paddle boarding which is great for youth activity and provides a superb active community.
