Ascheim Water Ski

The Cable (& adjacent beach bar) Operator: Wasser- ski- park Aschheim, Am Sportpark 30, 85609 Ascheim

2nd bigger Beach Bar Strand bar Roberto Beach am Aschheimer See

The cable loop has 5 wheels & can take 9 water skiers. The lake is a North-West - South-East oblong.

Some jumps on the main circuit looking North East, a few people used some, most used none).

Everyone who falls off & walks back barefoot along the beach winces at the round stones underfoot.

• They could put a narrow sand path there. A small investment on price paid.
• Knee boards, people coould wear old trainers/ tennis shoes ?
• Wake boards, I guess any surf board shoe would do.
• Water skis might be hardest to solve. Maybe [older?] (ie plain slim plastic/rubber) style wind surf shoes might fit in water ski mounts (but the newer / more expensive sort with black neoprene up leg, & high friction coeffecient light blue rubber soles that run above heel & toe would not work I guess). Not many used water skis on beginners run though. Mostly it was wake boards, & next was knee board users.)

There's a big beach bar (Roberto Beach) on the North East corner. Where all the shiney metal concrete building is. Lots of beach (ie sand) volley- ball courts there.

The power wheel, that pulls the cable round, also with a small up & down loop to load tow ropes for water skiers.

Cable system manufacturer: "Rixen Cableways" is what's written on a ramp

Easier to start with a kneeboard Says Sheffield as lower centre of gravity. (But they don't mention any shock/ accident strain is then direct on spine, not through nice big multi jointed muscle sprung shock absorbers evolution kindly developed ... called "Legs" ;-)
