4. The Bricks – Duisburg, Germany
Germany is home to nearly 100 wake parks, but according to our riders, one steals the spotlight: The Bricks. It's known as one of the coolest cable parks around with over 18 rad features. The 50 wave breakers and epic track give riders an awesome experience that feels like shredding at a skate park. The crew at The Bricks is super dedicated and talented, always keeping things fresh by changing up the features. They're all about supporting and promoting riders, parks, photographers, and videographers, and they're a go-to source of helpful info for the cable wakeboarding community. The Bricks is where wakeboarders find a welcoming and exciting environment that's all about inclusivity and good times for everyone.
“I feel like everyone’s focus nowadays is on creating the biggest or the most technical setup but simply get lost in that thought. The Bricks is a perfect example of why you don’t need all that. Guess what, bigger ain’t always better!”

There are so many awesome cable parks for wakeboarders around the world, and this was a pretty difficult list to get to. We’d like to include a few honorable mentions, such as Orlando Watersports Complex, which is one of the largest cable parks in the US and one of the most recognized parks in the world. There’s also Liquid Leisure, which often host the world championships. They’re one of our favorite parks, home to an awesome cable ride in a private freshwater lake in the U.K. Finally, we want to include Germany’s Wasserski Langenfeld, one you can’t miss as the largest wake park in Europe.
