Irish Blind Sports at Carrig WWC
Our collaboration with Irish Blind Sports went from strength to strength with many of our visually impaired skiers progressing the skiing alone! Many thanks to Eoghan Dinan of the Evening Echo for his coverage of these events. Read more >>

Welcome to UCC Staff Waterski & Wakeboard Club
Whether it is your first time or you know your stuff, you will enjoy your time on the water.

The Staff Waterski & Wakeboard Club are very grateful to the Staff Sports & Social Club for their ongoing support each year. The funding received from SSSC helps to make the sport accessible to all UCC staff.
Irish Blind Sports Event at Carrig
Slicing across the wake on skis with your eyes closed – how many of us have tried it?
For someone who has lost their sight, the prospect of learning to ski can bring fear and trepidation...
On 14/15th May, Carrig Waterski & Wakeboard Club continued their long link with Irish Blind Sports by providing a training weekend for a group of blind/visually impaired individuals. Read more>>
Preparing for the season ahead
Following the severe freeze across Ireland in December, we found that the slalom course had broken free of its moorings. An afternoon working under a blanket of fog had everything back in place.

Super Summer Ski - June 2010
Sunday 20th June
- An Open Event -
at Carrig Waterski & Wakeboarding Centre
A mighty crowd turned up for this open event, with over 80 people taking to the water! An even more satisfying statistic is that more than half of those had never skied before. Great credit goes to the crew of volunteers at Carrig for skiing and feeding so many. See the video & photos.
