This Memorial Day, wakeboard enthusiasts will have a new, affordable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional wakeboarding.Hall County Commissioners recently approved a request to build the first closed-cable wakeboarding park on Lake Lanier at Aqualand Marina in Flowery Branch.“The closed loop cable system is very popular worldwide, there just aren’t any on the lake,” Gary Petersen, Aqualand Marina general manager, said.The potential exists for the park to be a big draw for tourists. The next closest cable wakeboarding park is more than 50 miles away.“I believe it will bring a lot of people. I believe it will be a very big deal,” Kurhanewicz said.The equipment to build the park is expected to arrive in three weeks from the manufacturer in Germany.
