The UNSW Waterski and Wakeboard Club is open for membership exclusively to students, staff and qualifying graduates of UNSW. To ride with the club you must be a member for insurance reasons. We are one of the largest clubs on campus and run waterskiing and wakeboarding trips most weekends.
The
club has all the equipment you could want including slalom skis, combo
skis, jump skis, trick skis, kneeboards, wakeboards, tubes, as well as
lifejackets,
wetsuits, ropes, 2 boats and a river which is all included in
the cost of skiing. All you need to bring is
swimmers, and a towel. We cater for all standards of skiers,
specialising in nervous never skied/boarded before people.
The club rides on the Hawkesbury River from Cliftonville Lodge almost every weekend (Where We Ride). If you are interested in coming up and riding with us, all you have to do is check the ski schedule and contact the boat captain for the day. A lift can be arranged for you from campus if you need one. Our members are always notified by email. To be placed on the email list please contact the website officer.
Every
now and then, the club stays in the cabins at Cliftonville on Saturday
night for what we call ‘Crazy Weekends’. The cabins
are sensational and it's a good weekend for meeting everyone in the
club and relaxing. We get up there early on Saturday for some riding
and relaxing followed by dinner and a party. Sunday we continue the
riding.
The Waterski and Wakeboard Club sometimes travels to Forster for about a week during mid-Session breaks or in the Summer break. At Forster the skiing is great. You only have to come for a few days if that’s what you want. Forster (3 1/2 hours drive north of Sydney) has some nice beaches and friendly locals. Accommodation is usually in cabins at Wallamba Ski Lodge, about 10 minutes north of Forster/Tuncurry.
