18 19 Pentasi FSC

When a wake park needs to accommodate more riders, we offer the Pentasi Full Size Cable. Pentasi has been producing FSCs since 1993, and their decades of experience is one reason why we chose to work closely with them. Another reason is that their system is well-priced without sacrificing any quality. The Pentasi FSC can handle up to 10 riders at a time, depending on the length of the course. The track can be with 4, 5 or 6 columns, and riders are pulled in a circle at a speed of 15-60 km/h. The track is not loud, so there is no disturbing sound when it’s operating. Anyone swimming and relaxing nearby will not be bothered. Both the WakeStation and Pentasi FSC have a positive influence on the quality of water in smaller lakes (which usually have problems with the quantity of oxygen). So these systems are an effective way to increase the oxygen and rotation of the water. In summertime, they can be even used as substitutes for different water-rotating systems. The Pentasi FSC provides a large-scale system preferred by advanced riders. The WakeStation system is ideal for absolute beginners who need one-on-one instruction or for pro riders who want to focus on improving a particular move. Together, we provide full-service wake both photos: parks that include a two-cable system, the FSC and great obstacles to Central Wakeboard Park Pécs, Hungary satisfy the needs of all riders, regardless of skill level. photographer Sada Domonkos
