Cable skiing

Tow ropes are detached and attached at the same time without slowing the system down, which is a main reason for its high efficiency.

Loading the line is putting tension on the rope and using the water as a spring to fling oneself into the air.

A cableway with a main cable 800 metres long operated at 19 mph (31 km/h) makes 38.8 rounds in one hour (456 miles per day if used round the clock) and the users get 19 miles (31 km) of water skiing or wake boarding in that hour.

Cable skiing is very popular in Europe and slowly gaining momentum in the United States.

One spot in Germany, Langenfeld, has four cableway systems and the highest water skiing and wakeboarding capacity in the world.
