SOUTH WALES EVENING POST - WALES' LARGEST SELLING NEWSPAPER REPORTS:

A new watersports centre is coming to Swansea's docklands.

The city will be home to Wales' first cable-powered wakeboarding centre. It will be based in the Prince of Wales Dock in SA1 and will operate from a 28-acre site in the docks.

Developers expect to be able to offer wakeboarding - where thrill-seekers use the wake of a boat, or in this case a cable system, to propel themselves into the air at speeds of up to 25 mph.

A spokesman said: "Wakeboarding is a popular sport - it's still new but interest is growing at a phenomenal rate".

Ladybizbiz says: "Why, with all that ocean front in Swansea and Mumbles, are we doing something like this in the confines of the dock area"?
