Wakeboard on the Tiber

Rome

A towed board on the Tiber, without leaving Rome. You spend the session getting up, falling off, and getting up again, and then you walk back into the city with your hair wet.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the river and get the run-through: how the tow picks you up, how to let go.
  2. The first attempts, most of which end in the water. That is the normal shape of a first session.
  3. Once you are up, the bank goes past sideways and the session is suddenly over.
  4. Out, dried off, and still in Rome with the evening ahead of you.

You need to swim, and you will spend real time in the water. If you want the same river without the falling in, the rafting float through the centre is the gentler version.

Where it is

Rome at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
