Great place to beat the Kansas City heat! KCW has a family-friendly atmosphere and the operators and instructors are experts at making sure that everyone learns to wakeboard/kneeboard. They were all so encouraging and they were genuinely excited when they helped a newbie like me get up for the first time. There's a smaller "beginner" cable called the 2.0 which is a great place to start before you graduate to the full-size cable. I had only ridden behind a boat once before trying the cable park, and they had me riding within an hour and doing laps within three hours. There are also areas for SUP (stand up paddleboarding), a sand volleyball court and sunbathing if you aren't quite ready to hit the cable. There is a pretty decent little snack shop, and its cool sometimes to just sit on the deck or the beach and watch the regular riders hitting the ramps and rails. Great place for people of all ages and a very affordable way to learn to wakeboard without the expense of a boat. All you have to bring is a swimsuit and yourself! read more

This place is great - extremely fun, super friendly. The closest sport I can compare wakeboarding to is snowboarding. If you can snowboard, you're a little ahead of the learning curve. That said, it's not the same. This is a sport that will challenge you many different ways physically and mentally (mostly physically). There are several options to learn how to wakeboard at KC Watersports. You can jump right into the big lake or take lessons. (I recommend taking a lesson or two before jumping into the big lake - not something we did, but the day was still awesome.) Again, the best part of the experience was the staff at KC Watersports. They are true professionals who take pride in helping people learn this sport. Take your time. Be patient. Have fun. This can be addicting! read more

Cable parks are sprouting up across the country. KC metro residents and visitors are blessed with such a park for water sport lovers.

This park has very friendly staff, dedicated lovers of board sport, cool customers and the best teachers. This park prides itself on teaching all ages to ride, so if you have a question about anything from making it around your first corner to landing the "kicker", all you have to do is ask. Great way to spend a summer day and even better way to get into shape and have fun doing it! read more

Great way to beat the summer heat and get in a "workout" all at the same time. These guys are great when it comes to getting your feet wet in the sport of wake boarding, they have two cable systems for newbies and advanced riders. All the staff is helpful and will help you up your game. They even have SUP (stand up paddle boards) if wake boarding is a little too much of an adrenaline rush for you. Also if you are in the market for a top end wake boarding boat these guys got you covered there, as they are on top of everything a Mastercraft dealer. Bottom line. Take a few trips to Paola for a great time. read more

My son (8 yrs old) and I went out last Saturday to try wakeboarding. This was our first time and I was super impressed with the instruction and patience! It is quite a deal they have going right now for only $15 for a 2 hour learn to ride lesson! They had us both up and confident at the end of the two hours. We will definitely be back and maybe even venture out and try surfing too! What a great place to go and be active with your family. There is sand volleyball too for those waiting and/or not interested in the water activities! read more
