    Hexagon Wake Park - Ready to wake board

    First to review?? Seriously? Wow, a bit of pressure. Okay then. I took my son to Hexagon Wake…read morePark/Tucker Lake yesterday to take him wakeboarding. I purchased a groupon pass and had seen the park featured on NC Weekend so I figured it might be worth a day trip. We get there and the guy working the front gate was gracious enough to let us go into the park without paying extra. The area is divided into two sections- the Tucker Lake part and Hexagon Wake Park. We had a blast hanging out in the water and on the assorted diving boards, trampoline, pyramid, etc. at the lake. We then headed over to the building for his lesson. He was given a helmet, life jacket, and a wake board. We met Will who set my son up on the beginner cable. Think of it like a ski resort, with the bunny slope and then the other runs. C did the bunny slope a few times, which consisted of a remote controlled cable that ran back and forth and then moved on to what they refer to as the 2.0 system. Will was super nice, very "yes ma'am" and a generally stoked wakeboarder. From there, you are cued up in a line to get on a cable that you grab either from a seated start or a standing position (again, think ski lift). If you make it off the dock you can take the tow rope/cable around the lake as many times as you'd like. There are ramps for tricks as well. Some of the guys we saw were amazing. They were pulling all kinds of tricks. If you fall you simply swim to a floating dock that is on the perimeter of the lake. I can't attest to how the cables felt, or what it was like to wakeboard on a cable versus a boat, but I can say that the guy working the 2.0 cable system was so encouraging and nice to everyone who was in line. He practiced with them, set up them exactly right on the ramp, and was incredibly positive. Even though my son was never able to do a complete run, he had a great experience and wants to go back. And after that, we went back and did front flips off the dive board. And honestly, isn't that what summer is about? If you're in the area be sure to check it out. We'll definitely be back.

    I didn't realize how tough wakeboarding was (even for a pretty competent snowboarder), but my…read morebrother and I had a great time! I've been back 3 or 4 times since I bought my first groupon in Summer 2013. It was nice that the experts at the place volunteered tips to novices and encouragement after we face planted quite a few times. My word of caution would be that this is extremely rigorous activity. The average dad isn't going to be able to just hop on the cable unless he has had exposure to snowboarding/wakeboarding/skateboarding. If you've never been wakeboarding, don't expect to hop on the cable on your first try. You'll drink plenty of water as your face smacks the water on the first couple launches..... but keep at it! I think I heard the cable's cruising speed is 16 mph, so you're actually launching off the dock at about 25 mph since you're starting out from underneath the cable. So, don't expect to go as slow as you want like you can on a bunny slope. It is a great environment to learn for those up to the challenge! I would suggest going on days that aren't holidays and not during the summer.... another commenter made a valid point that this place can get BUSY and it takes a while to get set up for another run. I'm at the point where I can zip around the lake a few times and I'm just attempting some of the jumps and other features. It's a place I could go time and time again--so much fun!
