BEACH ZRCE @ SPORTS ACTIVITIES

PARASAILING:

By bringing together sailing, paragliding and parachuting in to one, unique activity and pleasure of parasailing, you are having the opportunity to taste the uniqueness of breath taking moments. You are aware that the age has never been the obstacle for the acquiring of new experiences. Therefore, the uniqueness of chance to, in flight, from bird perspective, enjoy the totality of natural beauties of the Zrče bay, the Pag it self and the surrounding islands, as the perspective of our corner of the Mediterranean, becomes something you shouldn’t be missing. Experience hardened crew is at your disposal in any view. You could go up to 650 feet in the air, because you are the one who’s calling the shots. We are able to offer you the choice between single, double and triple parasailing. The ride lasts ten to fifteen minutes at the altitude of about 650 feet above the sea, with the magnificent panoramic view on shore and neighborly islands, in which way you have the possibility to experience the newfound pleasure of time spent in the air and on water in an incredible way, thereby definitely changing your point of view on the world.

TUBA:

It’ll give you all the force the of the adrenaline ride thrill, matching the one that comes when riding a wild, untamed animal. Each tube can receive one person, while the powerboat can at once pull the total of six tubes. Your only assignment is hold on tight and stay on the tube ( or at least try to stay on ) while flying through the air and jumping from wave to wave.

BANANA:

The banana ride could also be the right thing for you. Indulge yourself and tryout this wild and wet ride, which pleasure comes to full effect when, in gladiator manner, you match the powerboat driver in a duel, while he’s trying to drop you in the water. So if you do happen to take swim, there’s no reason for you not to try again . . .

JET SKI

Would you like to get to know the island of Pag better? Have you already seen all its sights ashore? Have you discovered all the beaches and bays that can be reached by roads or paths? Are you ready to discover the ones tucked away and hidden from the crowds?

There is often a huge crowd next to the Papaya, Aqurius and Kalypso clubs at the Zrće beach which gives you an extra reason to escape to the wilderness of the sea, enjoy the view, have a swim, climb the cliff and observe many different kinds of sea-birds and other sea animals which avoid the usual crowdedness of the busy beaches. !

Why not go on a JET SKI SAFARI – a jet ski ride in one of the most beautiful bays in the Adriatic? Zrće and many other beaches that you have always liked but were out of reach for you due to the lack of roads or not knowing the foot paths – now you are able to see and enjoy them from a different perspective .

This way you can experience many great moments in a relatively short time. The fantastic views of the shore only visible from the sea, the sea panorama lost in the horizon and the feeling of power offered by the jet-ski ride are just some of the unforgettable experiences the adventurer in you will never forget. Jet-ski circular rides are organized as two-hour trips where the destinations are pre-arranged and are subject to the weather conditions and the client’s previous experiences.

We will also try to meet the wishes of our guests during the safari itself – may it be a wish for adrenalin and speed or a wish to get to know the local culture and cuisine. We will try to meet your wishes if you inform us in advance. There is something to attract you at each of our destinations. Apart from the natural beauties and sights there is always enough action to meet all tastes. After arriving back to the staring point (the Zrće beach) each participant receives a free ticket for wakeboarding or water-skiing at the nearby ski-lift .

BUNGEE JUMPING ZRCE

Do you want to experience safely sense of freedom,which provides free fall? Bungee jumping will make it. Bungee jumping you can try on the Zrće, next to the club Papaya,on the edge of this beautiful beach.

WAKEBOARD

Once upon a time, in 1984. a surfer and enthusiast from San Diego Tony Finn produced a Skurfer – predecessor of wakeboard. Skurfer was very much like surf, only shorter, without bindings. And so the crowd went on skurfing until 1990. when Herb O’Brien, a man with a vision, knowledge and a waterski company, appeared. He designed the very first neutral buoyancy wakeboard, Hyperlite, with bindings, which allowed easier water starts and better control over it. As a result, a sport ceased to be reserved for a skillful few and became accessible to everyone. Later development of sport and gear led to the modern “twin tail” wakeboard with fins on both ends which made all kinds of new and different tricks possible – a rider was finally able to combine both regular and fakie position (left or right foot front). Tony Finn is still one of the most influential people in wakeboarding. He’s also a co-owner of the Liquid Force Wakeboards company.

Jimmy Redmon founded in 1990. WWA (World Wakeboard Association) and began developing rules and formats of the sport to it’s present form. Later on IWSF (International Waterski Federation) also embraced wakeboarding under it’s watersports roof. At that point began en era of two global wakeboard governing bodies that still goes on. As you can imagine, it caused many problems, like the dual world titles, different sets of rules and the recognition of the authority. However, WWA has much more influence in Americas, and IWSF in Europe. Also, IWSF put much more effort (if not all) into the discipline that Croatians mostly practice – cable wakeboard.

Wakeboard globally has two main directions – boat wakeboard – being towed by a boat, and cable wakeboard – riding on cableway systems. Another important wake sport is wakeskate (without bindings), again boat and cable. Recreational riders are people of all ages and skills, but the pros are generally younger group, between 15 and 25. Wakeboarding is more than just a sport, like other “extreme” sports, it’s a lifestyle and grows every day more popular worldwide. Certainly, for the development of sport is important that the cable parks continue to pop up all over the world, since that is the only affordable way for many people to ride.

There are over 100 wakeboard and waterski cableway parks around the world, more then 40 of it in Germany, on natural and artificial lakes. Cableways are ecologically acceptable – the electric drive influences environment much less than the boats.

In conclusion, let me underline a recent founding of the Cable Wakeboard Council in IWSF, region EAME (Europe, Africa, Middle East), which brought our sport for the first time on the level with other divisions inside this organization. On the world level of IWSF functions the WWC – World Wakeboard Council – responsible for both boat and cable wakeboarding. Now, I wouldn’t babble so much about IWSF if there wasn’t something I wanted to tell you.

The thing is that the very author of this historical document (that’s me, Varna) was one of the seven elected members of the newly formed Council which now administers cable wakeboard justice in EAME land..
