Wakeboarding at a Rum factory. Sounds too good to be true but it is!

I am always up for adventures so Andre Figueiredo invited me to visit the new Cable Park from 2D out at iPark in Maranguape I jumped at the chance!

Grabbing my Toyboy I hit the road, it took just 1 hour and 10 minutes to reach the park from Taiba which is quicker than getting into the city!

 

iPark is situated at the Cachaça museum just outside of Fortaleza which makes for an unusual but fun location. 

The ride up to the cable is fab! It's not everyday you get to ride behind a Muzzy Ferguson tractor through sugar cane fields with a board! 

The fact that the park shares it's site with a museum and a working sugar cane distillery makes it without a doubt one of the most unique wakeboarding locations anywhere in the world. 

There is also plenty of rum close at hand should you feel the need to self medicate after heavy crashes during your session!

The 2D Cable at iPark is the longest system 2 in Latin America and stands 13m high. 

The height of the cable makes it perfect for training aerial tricks and I spent all day training (and crashing!) hard!

There are plans to build a further 2 cable systems, with the addition of sliders and kickers in the near future! 

Fingers crossed it happens soon as we love our slider sessions!! 

Thank you so much Andre for all of the tips!
