Arakawa River
Get on the water.
Boat sessions for wakeboarding and wakesurfing on the Arakawa, 30 minutes from central Tokyo.
First time?
You will be standing within minutes.
Wakeboarding is a tow sport — the boat does the work. A rope, a board, and an instructor. Most beginners are on their feet within 10 minutes. No prior experience, no fitness requirement.
The boat pulls you up
You do not need strength or athleticism. Hold the handle, let the boat accelerate, and the board does the rest.
An instructor is with you every pull
Our coaches have stood next to beginners hundreds of times. They know exactly what to say and when to say it.
Groups welcome, solo fine too
Come with friends, a partner, or alone. The boat has room for everyone — riders and spectators alike.
