Where are the best places to wakeboard in Hong Kong? Tai Tam Bay, Deep Water Bay, Sai Kung and Tolo Harbour
- Hong Kong is the perfect location to take to the water, with its many bays protected from incoming swells
Amid the sweltering heat of Hong Kong’s summer, what outdoor activity can possibly beat wakeboarding with your family and friends?
Towed behind a speedboat, riders use the wake from the boat rather than the water’s natural breaks to hit the air and show off their best tricks. Don’t worry if you’re new to the sport, there are many coaches in the city and they can help with renting equipment and a boat.
Hong Kong’s unique geography of 263 islands and rugged coastline makes it perfect for wakeboarders to cruise along calmer waters, undisturbed by incoming swells from the South China Sea.
Here are a few places you can guarantee a good time at sea:
1. Tai Tam Bay, Hong Kong Island
On the southside of Hong Kong Island, Tai Tam provides a large, protected bay for wakeboarders. It is fairly convenient to get to. Take 6X bus from Central to Stanley Prison where wakeboarding speedboats are available for hire with experienced boat drivers that can give you a few pointers on improving your skills. However, it is recommended you check the weather first as a strong east wind can make the sea quite rough around the bay.
