Live in or around the Alamo City and itching to get on the water? Wakeboarding near San Antonio is closer than you think. Just up the road in New Braunfels, Stoke Factory’s cable park lets you wakeboard without a boat, making it the perfect day trip from the city.

Skip the coast and the boat rental. A short drive gets you lap after lap of riding.

What Is Cable Wakeboarding?

Cable wakeboarding swaps the boat for an overhead cable system that tows you across the water at a steady, predictable speed. It’s easier to learn, more affordable, and means more time riding, ideal for a quick trip out of San Antonio.
