Connecticut Cable Park
Thu, 04/01/2010 - 20:42
Any of you guys up for a cable park session? This place opened last year and I am going to head out there in the next couple of weeks to check it out! It's the only place I know of in New England and it looks like it could be a great place to work on board skills when there is no wind. Below is a description of the cable area and below that is a link. Check it out!

Wakeboard
Brownstone Park is the only cable wakeboarding facility north of the Mason-Dixon Line. High speed winches provide riders with runs of up to 1,200 feet at speeds of up to 25 miles hour. It’s a fantastic sport and is certainly one of the biggest hits at the park. Entry- level boards are available for use at no additional charge and lessons can be scheduled daily.
Coming in 2009 – For the more capable riders with their own board and helmet, Brownstone is adding both jumps and rails that will put some lift into your freestyle boarding.
When you’re ready for your own equipment visit our Sports Shack for the latest equipment from Liquid Force, Body Glove and many other leading manufacturers.

bull shit
This is not a cable park. It is a bullshit winch park. Big difference, damn it! I thought finally something cool came to these environs. I guess I am gonna have to deal with our fickle winds. Fuck!

Brownstone Park
Brownstone Park: Loadin the cable. Doin a RalleyBrownstone is the place to be when the wind doesnt blow. They have a 2 tower system 2.0 wakeboard system. Very similar feel to kite boarding. You can do load tricks and they even have a kicker and rail set up. Word on the street is they are getting more cables and more features making it pretty official.I attached some pictures of the kids rippin it last year

I went to Brownstone Park
I went to Brownstone Park last year. It's an awesome place to go during the week but if you go during the weekends its wicked busy and you have tons of waiting.
It's in a huge quarry with cliff jumps monitored by life guards, zip lines, trampolines, and random stuff.
The cable is just a winch. You strap in on a dock, hop into an 8 ft jon boat, and they hold the handle while they tow you out about 100 ft. There is like 2 jumps and a rail which they "encourage" you not to use. If your winch operator sucks, your ride will suck because of the slack in the line
Point said, I still had a blast and its definitely worth the experience
It looks like they don't open the cable park up until May 1st. I'm going to head over there early next week to scope it out. I'll keep you posted.
