SUMMER’S HERE! BEACHES, BOARDIES & GOOD TIMES ARE COMING!

With just over 2 months to go before we launch into the second decade of Europe’s Largest Wakeboard Music Festival, the summer season has finally kicked off with some scorching weather here in Abersoch.

The bikinis & board shorts have been out in force in the village and on the golden sandy beaches along the Cardigan Bay coast. We’ve had glassy flat waters in the bay, perfect for wakeboarding & awesome surf just round the corner. The bars have been brimming with the good times vibe and the summer fun mentality has really kicked in.

We’ve got over 25 more acts to announce along with some cool new additions to the festival site that overlooks Cardigan Bay and across to Snowdonia. We’ve also just confirmed some seriously cool aeronautical entertainment to let you know about nearer to the event. Radio 1 are joining us this year to broadcast live over the airwaves and we’re planning to get one or two of the presenters out on the water. We’ve got a few of the artists primed to get out on a wakeboard too over the Wakestock weekend. For the first time ever, you’ll have the chance to try the sport too using the Sesitec System 2.0 wakeboard cable park so we’ll be letting you know more about that very soon.
