Boats
1993 Correct Craft Excell
(barfoot)
A medium wake gives beginners an perfect approach
to slowly build up their skills! The soundsystem also supports mp3
cds!
1993 Correct Craft Excell 2001
The big wake satisfies every pro rider! It is still not an official
wakeboard boat, but loaded with additional weight (fatsacks
plus a few wet sand drums in the front) the wake
can easily keep up with an new Air Nautique 210!
"John, we think you are exaggerating a little
bit here"
Dok Krai
Reservoir
This is beautiful 11km reservoir. When the lake is
full there are always a hidden spot for perfect condition regardless
of the wind. When the water levels start to drop in January,
the tree's start to become an issue and ridding is limited to the
middle of the lake. Winds are typically good in the morning
and late afternoon. Around April/May, the water levels start
to get very low, and typically Airtime and the other close down the
wakeboarding until October after the summer rainy season fills the
reservoir back up.
“Happie
Dayzzz..."
"There comes a moment in ones life to have the luck and find a place
that enriches the soul, to participate in our passion and to find a
place in time that brings all the joy that being out on the water
brings. To find a place which envelopes you with tranquility from
which you become inspired by the reason why you love this sport so
much. A hideaway to recharge the batteries that work has drained, to
escape the hustle and bustle life brings, to finally find the dream
that you always wanted to live, welcome to Thailand, welcome to
Dokkrai lake side resort the home of the Air-Time watersports camp."
