As the UAE capital continues to embrace diverse sporting activities, Abu Dhabi is getting a new wakeboarding academy that promises to inspire young athletes. The Al Forsan Wakeboard Academy, set within the expansive Al Forsan International Sports Resort, aims to nurture talent in water sports, providing structured training for those aged 7 to 17. This academy opens its doors just in time for summer, allowing budding wakeboarders to learn new skills in a vibrant and supportive environment.
The water’s looking nice and blue…
With the rising temperatures these days, we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that the thought of pulling over and taking a dip in the sea doesn’t cross our minds multiple times a day.
If you’re like us and enjoy being in the water (and taking up a sport while you’re at it), here’s some good news for you: Abu Dhabi’s Al Forsan International Sports Resort is launching the Al Forsan Wakeboard Academy.
Participants can look forward to a thoughtfully structured training curriculum that caters to different skill levels, timed to fit around school terms. This allows students to focus on their studies as well as their budding wakeboarding skills. The curriculum emphasizes theoretical knowledge, practical drills, and mindset development, with evaluations leading to a certification of achievement.
Skill Levels for Every Aspiring Wakeboarder
Training sessions will be offered across three skill levels, with each group limited to 24 students, ensuring ample attention from coaches. The competency levels consist of Beginner (Straight Cable), Semi-Pro (Small Cable), and Pro (Big Lake), allowing for tailored learning according to individual abilities. Each program spans ten weeks, emphasizing different areas specific to each level.
The Beginner level welcomes first-time wakeboarders, introducing them to the fundamentals of the sport while fostering confidence in the water. The Semi-Pro level dives into technical skills like cable control, surface tricks, and obstacle navigation. For the more experienced riders, the Pro level focuses on advanced techniques, including air tricks and performance routines.
