The club<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Beginner to expert, all disciplines<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The AWSC caters to all level of waterskier, from beginner right through to pro. Age is not a limitation. Our youngest skier to date was fourteen months old and our members recently helped set a Guinness World Record for the Oldest Waterskier at 94 years of age!<\/p>\n

We have specific club equipment to cater for all levels of skiers which can be used by members free of charge.\u00a0 We use high quality equipment such as tow-ropes from S-Lines, a Ski Nautique 200 towboat from Surf Ski Ride, and safety equipment from Hutchwilco.\u00a0 Our courses and ramp are set up to World Record standards by default.\u00a0 All our drivers are specifically trained to operate on the Orakei Basin safely, and many are rated to drive tournaments up to World Record standards.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Membership Benefits<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The AWSC is open 5 days a week, Wednesday through to Sunday.\u00a0 During the summer we open at 7am so you can sneak in a quick ski before work, or pop down during the day for a quiet lunchtime rip around the basin.\u00a0 Or get your kids into one of our highly successful tournament coaching programmes - recently taking skiers from first lesson to Regional and NZ Teams in 18 months!<\/p>\n

Joining the AWSC gives you more than just a place to ski close to the city.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
