Six Sundays to get properly hooked.
A six-week junior wakeboarding course at Ballyhass Mallow designed for younger riders who want a better first step into the sport. With regular coaching, beginner-friendly progression and a brilliant group atmosphere, this is one of the best ways for juniors to build confidence on the water.
Starting Sunday, June 7th. Runs every Sunday from 10:00am to 1:00pm for six weeks.
A stronger first step than a one-off taster
Juniors get time to settle in, build confidence and progress week by week with proper coaching and repeat practice.
Great for building confidence
The course format helps younger riders learn alongside others at a similar level, making the first few sessions feel easier and more enjoyable.
Junior wakeboarding, built around steady progression.
This is a structured six-week course rather than a single beginner session. That matters. Wakeboarding becomes much more enjoyable when riders have time to come back, try again, improve and feel the momentum building each week.
Sunday, June 7th, 2026
The course begins on Sunday, June 7th and runs weekly from there.
Every Sunday, 10:00am to 1:00pm
A regular Sunday morning slot with enough time for coaching, practice and group progression.
Six week course
Six sessions designed to help junior riders build confidence, technique and independence on the water.
The right format makes wakeboarding easier to stick with.
Wakeboarding has a serious buzz from the first session, but younger riders progress best when they have consistency, encouragement and enough time to make mistakes, try again and improve. This course gives them that structure.
Built for first-time and early-stage riders
Junior Learn To Wake is ideal for younger riders who are new to wakeboarding or still building the basics. The emphasis is on confidence, control and enjoying the learning process.
- Beginner-friendly coaching from the first session
- Regular weekly practice instead of a one-off attempt
- Group energy that keeps motivation high
- A clear pathway into more wakepark riding
A proper Ballyhass summer progression course
This is where younger riders can start to feel part of the Ballyhass wakepark scene. It is active, social and full of the small wins that make wakeboarding so addictive.
- Six Sunday morning sessions
- Coaching, encouragement and repeat practice
- Designed to build confidence safely over time
- All core wakeboarding kit provided
Start simple, build confidence, keep progressing.
The six-week structure gives junior riders a proper learning arc. They are not expected to master everything on day one. They get coached, come back, improve and start to feel the difference.
Get comfortable
Start with the equipment, the cable, body position and the basic feeling of being pulled on the water.
Build the basics
Work on standing, balance, board control and confidence with coaching support across each session.
Find the buzz
As confidence grows, the sport starts to click. That is when wakeboarding becomes something juniors want to keep coming back to.
A course that gives younger riders structure, not pressure.
