Frequently asked questions and our typical answers
What is the best way to get started?
During our normal opening hours, you can buy a pass for 1, 2 or 4 hours and jump right in with the other riders on the cable.
That’s how most people get started, and you can easily book a time slot via our online booking system.
Alternatively, you can book a place on one of our intro courses. You will start in the morning before we open the cable for regular operations. Of course, during the intro courses, we have a little better opportunity to help you get off to a good start, and also run at a slightly lower speed on the cable. The price for the introductory course is 500,- per person, ALL inclusive, and as there is a limit on the number of participants, it is necessary to book in advance.
Is it necessary to start with an intro course?
No, attending an intro course is not a must.
But for children and the family audience, the intro course is the optimal place to start.
The sessions start just before normal opening hours, when we only have beginners on the cable—so we can run at a lower speed.
You can see an overview of the intro sessions and book directly on the page here.
The price for the 2 hours incl. complete beginner equipment is 500,- per person.
Is the cable always running with the same speed?
No. We run at two speeds: beginner speed (25 km/h) and normal speed (30 km/h).
The speed is usually increased at 3:00 PM, so the cable is extra beginner-friendly in the morning and early afternoon – and it can be an advantage for beginners to come earlier in the day.
When is the best time to come?
We’re of course least busy on weekdays outside the summer holidays.
The warmer it is and the less wind there is, the more guests we have (and the longer you’ll have to queue).
Rainy days are your best bet for a good time. The crowds are few and far between, and you’ll get wet anyway.
During the day, there’s typically the most space on the cable right when we open, and in the last hour or two before closing. If you’d like shorter waiting times, those are the obvious times to plan your visit.
Do I need to book an appointment in advance?
All bookings are made through our online booking system – and we strongly recommend that you book a time in advance, especially during the busy summer months.
But if you show up without a booking and we have space on the cable, you’ll of course be ready to hit the water in no time.
What to bring?
Basically, all you need is a swimsuit (which most people prefer under their wetsuit) and a towel.
You can rent a wetsuit, as well as the obligatory helmet and life jacket.
We also rent out beginner gear as well as wakeboards with boots and without fins, which you’re welcome to use on the park’s features.
Can I reach the bottom of the water?
The water is about 1.5 m deep on the big cable and around 1 m on the small cable, so most people will be able to stand in most places.
Behind the kickers and right after the start, it’s deeper, so you won’t hit the bottom if you fall.
It helps if you can swim, but it’s not a requirement – all riders must wear a life jacket, and you’ll most likely be able to reach the bottom in most places around the park.
When is the beginner course open?
In connection with the containment of the facility in 2020, we supplemented our full-size facility with a small 2-masted beginner course.
We mainly use the course for teaching beginners when there is a lot of congestion on the big cable during the busy summer months.
Furthermore, we use the small cable for school classes and rent it out to kite schools.
What if the weather is really bad?
Rain and cold are not an issue. But if it’s really windy, it can be a problem.
In north-westerly wind directions, at wind speeds of approximately 12 m/s, we may have problems loading the lines, resulting in reduced capacity.

In special cases where we can’t stay open, we’ll always post updates on our Facebook and Instagram .
How do I book?
All booking is done via our online booking system. You’ll find it at the top of the page under “Booking” or directly here.
If you’re unsure which package suits you best, the Beginner Package is a great choice if it’s your first time. We typically recommend starting on waterskis – it gives you the best chance of success from the start. If you’ve tried wakeboarding, snowboarding, surfing or another board sport before, you can easily book a regular day pass and go straight to the board.
You can see all packages and prices at kabelpark.dk/priser.
We’re a school or a large group – what do we do?
We’re happy to welcome school classes, clubs and other large groups.
Write to us via the contact form at the bottom of the page, or call +45 28 72 80 00, and we’ll find the best day for your visit – and make sure you have the cable to yourselves.
Can we visit the park outside normal opening hours?
If you’re not a large group but can only visit us outside our normal opening hours – e.g. on a closed day or before/after opening hours – you’re welcome to write to us via the contact form.
We’ll do what we can to find a solution and check whether we can start the cable up anyway.
Is it hard to learn?
If it’s your first time, we recommend starting on waterskis.
It’s easier to succeed from your very first run, and you’ll quickly get a feel for being pulled up out of the water.
If you’ve tried wakeboarding, snowboarding, surfing or another board sport before, you’ll typically learn it faster – and you can absolutely start straight on the board.
No matter your level, our instructors will help you get off to a great start, especially if you book an intro session.
Can you use the sauna?
Yes. When the air temperature is below 20°C, the sauna is usually on – and free for all riders on the cable.
If you’d like to book the sauna outside Kabelpark’s opening hours, you can do that too. Contact us via the contact form.
