IWP International Wake Park is one of the best places to try wakeboarding in Phuket. If you’re visiting as a family with kids, this sport can be a highlight of your trip. You can spend a day out wakeboarding in a manmade lake that’s positioned right between the runway of the Phuket International Airport and the Andaman Sea.

You can take in the diverse terrain and ocean views as you have fun with the help of a world-class Rixen cable system, which tows you around the lake’s course. Besides wakeboarding, you can also try surfing at IWP's flow rider.
