Waterboarding & Water Skiing:
BSR is considered the world’s best cable park. Electronically-driven cables pull waterboarders and water skiers alike in another man-made lake on the property. The cables can be pulled at different speeds so regardless of your skill level, you can enjoy the sports. BSR also has different obstacles, such as sliders and rails to enable athletes to get some air and develop their skills. You can spend the day being pulled behind the cables while you shred the water. However if you are learning either sport, they also offer private lessons.
