Your Wakeboard Camp Week
Five sessions across the week, all at Wake Park Lagos — the Algarve’s only two-tower cable park, 10 minutes from the Kitehouse. Each session is 30 minutes on the water: two 15-minute rides with a short rest and instructor feedback between them. An AWS instructor is at the park with you every session.
We build your schedule around Wake Park Lagos’s open days (Wednesday to Sunday). If you arrive earlier in the week, we can arrange a Tuesday session — either way, five days of riding is guaranteed. We also recommend a mid-week rest day: cable wakeboarding uses muscles you don’t normally use, and a day of yoga and stretching in the middle keeps you riding stronger through days 4 and 5.
Day 1 — Learning the Two-Tower System
Wake Park Lagos runs a two-tower cable — the only setup of its kind in the Algarve. Your instructor briefs you on body position, handle grip, and what to expect when the cable kicks in. Most guests are up and riding the full circuit by the end of day one, making their first turns before the session is over.
Days 2–3 — Switch, Ollies & First Obstacles
Once you can ride a clean lap, the focus shifts. Try your first switch riding, work on early ollies, and start approaching the beginner obstacles. The park layout is designed to let you practice every aspect of cable riding — from flat water to features — in a natural progression.
Days 4–5 — 180s, Toe-Sides & More
Final sessions are where it clicks. First 180s, toe-side turns, more confident obstacle runs. Your instructor debriefs after each session and gives you specific pointers to keep building on.
Where We Ride
Wake Park Lagos
10-min drive from camp · Two-tower cable system · Only in the Algarve
Wake Park Lagos runs a two-tower cable system — the Algarve’s only setup of this kind. An overhead electric cable pulls you across the water at a consistent, controlled speed. No boat, no petrol smell, no waiting for a turn. You ride, come back in, rest, and go again.
The obstacle layout is designed so you can practice every aspect of cable riding: beginner-friendly features to start, more advanced rails, kickers, and boxes as you progress. Beyond the water, the park has a trampoline, a workout area, a sun deck, and a bar — a full-day destination, not just a 30-minute stop.
- Two-tower cable system — only one in the Algarve
- Obstacles for all levels, designed for progression
- Trampoline, workout park, sun deck & bar on site
- AWS transport door to door — you choose your ride time
Wake Park Lagos operates Wednesday to Sunday. We plan your five sessions around those open days. If you have a preference for morning or afternoon rides, let us know and we’ll arrange the drop-off time accordingly.
What Campers Say
“This camp is an absolute blast from every aspect. Clean, organised, friendly, professional and nourishing for body and soul as the food is remarkably delicious and healthy.”
“It has been my second stay at AWS and once again the food and drinks were great, all the instructors super helpful and friendly (Kite, Surf, Wakeboard, Wakefoil, Windsurf), the office is very flexible and well-organized and the rooms are always clean.”
“We came to kitesurf but the conditions didn’t allow. So we joined other activities — kitesurf sessions, windsurfing, wakeboarding with AJ, and surfing with various good instructors. We had a great time!”

Not sure how much wakeboard you want?
Wakeboard works best as a one-sport focus, but AWS is also the only multi-sport camp in Lagos. Some guests come specifically for wake and add surf or SUP on their off days. Others come for surf and use wake as the thing that breaks up the week.
Tell us how you’re thinking about the week and we’ll help you plan it. There’s no fixed programme beyond your five cable sessions — the rest of the schedule is yours.
- Add surf, kite, SUP or wing foil sessions at any point
- Use Mon & Tue (wake park closed) for other sports
- No extra planning needed — just ask at check-in
