Description
Picture the pull of the tow rope lifting you out of the water, the board finding its glide beneath your feet, and the volcanic landscapes of Auvergne rolling past on either side of the wake. Wakeboarding in Auvergne is the nautical incentive near Clermont-Ferrand that takes your colleagues out of their comfort zone and propels them onto the region's most beautiful lakes, board underfoot and a guaranteed grin. Original, packed with sensation and accessible to beginners and experienced riders alike, it is the summer activity that stays in the memory long after the seminar is over.
The session opens with a briefing led by an experienced instructor who covers all the basics and tricks of wakeboarding: how to get up out of the water, find your balance on the board, manage the boat's speed and pick your foot positions. Every participant progresses at their own pace, without pressure, in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Those who already ride can work on their moves while beginners find their style.
Once everyone is on the boat, participants take turns on the water while the others enjoy the lake scenery, cheer, commentate and capture the best riding moments and the most spectacular wipeouts. Two to two and a half hours of activity that create a unique collective dynamic, with the Auvergne volcanoes as the backdrop and the cool of the lake to close a memorable session.
