Waterskiing Weekend in Cork

July 2010

Three Bar Waterskiing

Over the past number of years, Carrig Waterski & Wakebaording Centre in Cork have provided training and support to a large number of individuals with a visually impairment who have learned to Waterski. The crew at Carrig are very proud of their involvement with Irish Blind Sports over the years; and are eager to continue this link. A weekend at the end of August has been arranged for interested members to reacquaint themselves with this activity.
