Kick-start your first kneeboard run on Batak Reservoir. You get a short land briefing, full safety gear and a tow behind a boat or jet ski. The session is beginner-friendly, filmed on video, and you choose the pace—up to around 40 km/h.

What is kneeboarding and how does it work?
You ride on your knees on a board, holding a handle on a rope about 20 m long, attached to a motorized watercraft. Lean left or right to turn in that direction. If you ever feel unsure, simply release the handle—you stop immediately. It’s an easy and safe entry into tow sports.

How the experience unfolds

• Brief land instruction with theory and demonstration, so you know how to start and keep balance.
• Gear up with a wetsuit, helmet and life jacket.
• On-water session towed by a boat or jet ski—start smoothly, then practice turns and stability.
• Speeds can reach about 40 km/h, but you set the tempo.
• Release the rope any time to stop instantly.

What’s included
