I know we have mentioned the East Bute Doc Water-ski and wakeboard park elsewhere in a general discussion, but since there are lots of pics here I thought I start a new thread.

It will be quite a visible thing, with a set of cables suspended in the air:











Some info here: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/cardiffonline/cardiff-news/2012/04/27/water-ski-and-wakeboard-park-planned-for-cardiff-city-centre-91466-30847076/

Good luck to them. It sounds a good idea, will add to the mix of activities in Cardiff and in particular the bay area and is a relatively innovative idea. Will bring the dock back into more effective use. I just hope the water's clean!

Also hope they've got some good marketing ideas - boarders pulled by cable suspended from pylons with the backdrop of the steelworks or county hall might not be the most inspiring of pictures.

Paul is doing his 'commenting by posting a pic of the day as opposed to writing on the forum' thing again. I like it when he does...

The wakeboard centre for East Bute Dock has got through planning:

I wonder when we will see it in action? They talk about 2014 Cardiff capiral of sport, but will it be up and running for any of the 2013 season?
