Beginner Straight Line Cable Theory

DESCRIPTION

Beginner Sessions are essential for anyone new to cable water sports, even if they have mastered the boat side of things.

Key topics are:

• Safety Warnings & Exclusions
• Foundation Terminology
• Kit Guide
• Course & Site Navigation

There are knowledge and practical elements included in Beginner Sessions, to build the foundation skills and understanding necessary to be able to visit a cable water sports facility and participate in open sessions unaided.

It is important to understand that not everyone will completely navigate the full course during their first beginner session, in fact it is rare for people to fully get to grips with it on their first visit. However, once you get it, there is no looking back!

CERTIFICATION

After completing the knowledge based assessments and proving your practical skills to an approved coach, you will be able to prove your ability upon arrival at cable parks around the world. Without this evidence, you could be asked to complete a similar assessment at a new cable park.

Please note, some cable parks have very stringent legal requirements based on their local authorities, governing bodies, insurance, and other factors. Therefore, you should not take it personally if you are required complete extra steps at different parks.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understanding the basic Health & Safety of taking part in cable water sports activities
• Learning the theory of navigating the course and exiting at the correct place
• Completing the practical elements of starting from the dock, being able to control direction, and completing laps of the cable

WHAT’S NEXT?

After being able to safely navigate the cable system, it would be time to move out of any ‘Beginner Sessions’ at your local cable park and into the normal open sessions. In these sessions you will find many other like minded and skilled people to join and progress with.

The ‘Advanced Beginner’ level of the Rookie Roadmap is key to help you build the flat water foundation skills needed in the next step of your progression.
