WAKEBOARDING FOR EVERYONE
SitWake is sit-wakeboarding — a specially adapted form of cable wakeboarding designed for people with physical disabilities. Using a custom seat system mounted to a board, riders are pulled by the cable and experience the thrill of wakeboarding on the water.
This programme exists because of Prancha da Água — our association, and the structure through which Wake Park Lagos is able to formally partner with disability associations across the region. Thanks to Prancha da Água and the equipment funding from the Câmara de Lagos, we have been running open days since 2025 — open to anyone who wants to get on the water.
JOIN US ON THE WATER
Three public open days this season — anyone with a physical disability is welcome to come and try sit-wakeboarding. Sessions are small (3–4 riders) so everyone gets proper time on the water and personalised coaching.
Places are limited to 3–4 riders per session. Contact us to reserve your place.
HOW IT WORKS
Open days are subsidised — most of the fee goes back to the associations we work with to fund their programmes and bring adaptive water sports to more people.
Per person · Cash on arrival
We limit each session to 3–4 riders maximum. This ensures every participant gets personal coaching, enough water time, and a safe, relaxed experience.
Private sessions outside of open days can also be arranged — contact us to discuss your group’s needs and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Everything is provided — you just need to show up. Our coaches handle the rest.

BUILT ON COLLABORATION
SitWake at Wake Park Lagos exists because of the people and organisations who believe in bringing water sports to everyone. From disability associations to the local government — this is a shared project and we are proud of every partner involved.
The driving force behind the SitWake programme. Works closely with us on every open day and the September camp.
Dedicated to making water sports accessible. Co-organisers of our open day sessions.
Community support organisations whose members and clients take part in every SitWake open day.
The biggest institutional support for this project. The Câmara de Lagos funded the purchase of the sit-wake seats — without their belief in this programme, the open days would not exist.
PIONEERS OF SITWAKE IN PORTUGAL
We didn’t start SitWake because it was easy — we started it because nobody else was doing it. Wake Park Lagos is the first and only cable park in Portugal to run an adaptive sit-wakeboarding programme. We believe water sports should be accessible to everyone, regardless of physical ability.
Our ambition is to bring SitWake to other cable parks across Portugal. We want to share the knowledge, the equipment setup, and the associations we’ve built so that more people can experience this.
The open days are for anyone — you don’t need to be part of an association or have prior water sport experience. If you have a physical disability and want to try wakeboarding, come. We’ll handle the rest.
Most of the €10 session fee goes back to the associations we work with. SitWake at Wake Park Lagos is not a commercial product — it’s a community project, and we’re proud of it.
The Câmara de Lagos believed in this project enough to fund the purchase of the sit-wake seats. That support made the open days possible and we’re grateful for it.
