New Germany, Minn. water park offers new cable-towing system for water sports fun

NEW GERMANY, Minn -- A high-flying tool is offering a new twist on water fun at a wake park west of the Twin Cities.

The 10K Wake Park in New Germany, Minn. includes a pond with an overhead cable system that pulls a rider across the water on wakeboards. The computer-controlled cable system has been hailed by coaches and riders as the future of wakeboarding.

"It's a cable that runs down and back. It gives a continuous ride," 10KWakes Director Kris Jedda explained. "It has a natural upward pull, so it pulls you up and out of the water."

Jedda says the cable system is a perfect tool for teaching beginners how to wakeboard. More experienced riders can use the cable to practice on the pond's rails and kickers.

The cable pond is located 10 minutes west of Lake Minnetonka in New Germany at Trophy Lake Estates. The water park also includes two private lakes.

10KWakes offers private lessons, day camps and competitions. Prices vary, but start at $25 per hour.

There is more information available on the 10KWakes website.
