Cable ski park moves step closer to reality

SANTEE – An East County water board approved building a cable ski park at Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve last week after some speakers hailed a new water sport for the park and others said the project will bring noise and traffic.

The project was approved unanimously Friday by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, which operates Santee Lakes. It still must be approved by the Santee City Council.

The ski park, in which wakeboarders glide along the water pulled by cables from above, would be in one of the seven lakes at the park. It would be built by a private company that would pay at least $100,000 a year in a lease with the water district.

More than 100 cable ski parks exist around the world, including four in the United States: two in Florida, one in Texas and one in Kansas City, Kan.

The water at Santee Lakes is reclaimed, meaning it is treated sewage water. The water meets cleanliness standards for recreational use, although it is not intended for drinking.

Opponents of the project said it didn't belong in a residential neighborhood. Although studies said the cables would not be noisy, neighbors said they feared being disturbed by crowds of people visiting the park.

“I do think a cable ski park would be a good idea – not in a neighborhood,” Santee resident Raenel Peterson said. “Santee Lakes is a tranquil place for families to come – not an amusement park.”

Trevor Sudweeks, owner of the company that would build the park, presented a petition to the board signed by 3,300 people who support the ski park. Tony Finn, who makes wakeboards, said he has visited cable ski parks worldwide.

“It's an amazingly positive experience for the kids who go to them, and their families,” Finn said.

Water board members said the ski park would revitalize Santee Lakes and be used by school groups and members of the military.

“We need to give this thing a chance,” board member James Maletic said.
