Ski Rixen USA is a fantastic water sports facility located right down the street from Boca Raton in Deerfield Beach. This waterpark is located inside of the well-known Quiet Waters Park. Besides having Ski Rixen, Quiet Waters Park offers varios parks, camping, fishing, and multiple mountain bike trails.

The Ski Rixen staff is very kind and always can lend a helping hand. At Ski Rixen, you are pulled by a cable and can do many different activities; this includes but isn’t limited to waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and wakeskating.

It’s fun to watch some of the pro riders go off ramps and obstacles and do crazy tricks. On the other hand, beginners may not want to ride with the more skilled riders. Ski Rixen offers a beginner class every Saturday and Sunday from 10-12. There is limited space during this class and they slow down the speed of the cable to help the people start out. Along with this, you have access to all the equipment and they provide complimentary golf cart service so if (when) you fall, you can get a ride back to the start in order get as many rides as possible.

For people who are new to these water sports, the wake class is definitely the way to go. Even if you have skied behind a boat, the cable is completely different. They also provide you with a life jacket and helmet. The cost depends on the type of board you want to use and how long you want to ride. Water skis are the least expensive and the price gets higher as you move up to the obstacle boards. Ski Rixen always provides a fun time and is definitely worth exploring.
