I think they ask for you to book in advance. They have a new nautique down there as well, huge wake. If I go again I would take my own board, I have been using the same one for two years and only rode one board before that and I found it quite difficult to get used to the board I used there.

Also if you are going, everyone around there still has siestas, (if that is how you spell it), so you normally hace breaky, then lunch before 2.30 then you dont see a soul until after 5.30 sometimes 8.30. Stock up on the snacks! It is very traditional

Default the perfect holiday

Hi I’m Ant Eastwood,
How would you like to wakeboard or water ski all year round?
We are now taking bookings for our new business venture in Spain. We have a 93 Prostar 190, great flat wake for skiing and a pylon and fat sack for you boarders.
We are offering B&B in a restored Old Spanish Finca with 7 bedrooms and its own private pool plus waterskiing and wakeboarding.
The Mediterranean Sea is warm all year round and with a SBDA qualified driver you can ski or board all day long (no 15 minutes slots here) all day.
We also have a 14” trampoline for you boarders to practice your moves on.

Our rates are 70 euros per person per day including breakfast. (Min 2 people)

Situated in the small village of Los Perez on the Costa Colida, we are only 30 minutes from Murcia airport or 90 minutes from Alicante airport.
With low cost flights readily available, why not just jump on the next cheap flight and come over for a great week or 2(or weekend) in the sun? It makes sense!
TEL: 0034 968163744 or 0034 627700550
Look forward to seeing you and many thanks

Ant Eastwood

Hi,

I was in Annecy in september, lake is superb and the place is pretty cool, stay in Annecy town as there is not much night life outside of annecy. There is a waterski school there too, they had a pretty sick looking slider banked up when i was there. highly recommend it.

Plus the lake is about the size of windermere if a little bigger and when we was there is was flat nearly all day, and empty had the lake to ourselves at times. All you need is to buy a little blue flag to show your skiing/wakeboarding and keep a map of the lake on the boat. No registraration or anything

The added bonus of Annecy in July, August and Sept is you can get some summer snowboarding in at Tignes just 90mins up the road!
