Looking for a great family adventure for riders of all abilities, look no further. We took a trip to Elevated on their opening week in May 2020. Let's start off with the facility. This place is bananas. They have a clockwise cable that pulls you around a beautiful park that has both industrial (Unit) features and some home grown features that really have to be seen to be appreciated; such as the wall ride and ramp ups to the pool, which also have a host of exit options (rooftop, flat pipe). They also have a two tower system, which they used to help one of our beginners get the hang of cable riding.
Did I mention hot showers? So good on a cool day, or to rinse and ride home after a session. Did I mention the pro shop? Great gear selection and demos. Tons of options.
Ok, about the staff. When we rolled up the first person we encountered was the owner. He was instantly up and on his feet getting us checked in, playing host, helping us with rental, gear and sizing. His attitude spills over to the rest of his team. The staff is straight up stoked to be there. From taking extra time to help newer riders, to answering questions about gear, features and giving solicited coaching tips, you can tell that these people LOVE what they do. Our new rider went from the two tower system to the main park in about an hour and had the time of her life.
We live closer to other parks, but will be making the trip out to Elevated every chance we get. If you like wakeboarding, or think you'd like to give it a try, this is the...
Read moreElevated is the only full cable park in North Carolina, with the most unique obstacles for serious wakeboarders, but just as important, it is welcoming, easy, and fun for beginners. Elevated is a great environment for all skills levels including first timers. My favorite part is the "elevated" pool section for pulling off tricks, because you cannot find an obstacle like this anywhere else I can think of. Elevated is run by real wakeboarders who truly love the sport and are there not only to practice insane, fun-to-watch maneuvers, but also to introduce getting people started. This water sport we call wakeboarding is an adrenaline filled, addicting, family-friendly activity that keeps is all coming back for more. The owners are super cool, friendly, happy to be there and have done the community a big favor creating this park. I look forward to seeing Elevated grow, look forward to seeing friends there. I look forward to seeing more people learning how to wakeboard, and also the talent that will travel long distances to perform at this location. Thank...
Read moreI went wakeboarding here and had one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a cable park. From the moment I arrived, the staff made everything smooth, friendly, and inviting – whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced rider, they meet you right where you’re at.
The park layout is super impressive. The obstacles are thoughtfully arranged, and there’s a great mix of beginner-friendly features and more technical elements for those looking to push their limits. The water was clean, the cables ran smoothly, and the system felt extremely safe and well-maintained.
What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It’s relaxed, positive, and clearly built by people who love the sport. They give you tips if you want them, but there’s no pressure – just good vibes and great riding. The rental gear was solid quality, and the pricing was totally fair for the level of service and access you get.
The surrounding area is also really peaceful and scenic. Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or with family, this place is perfect for a...
