The original. Since 2013
The booking system that started it all
wakesys has run cable parks since 2013, before the big booking suites noticed the sport. wakesys 5.0 carries the RFID wristbands, lap counter, operator screens and fiscal compliance; the new platform carries booking, pre-arrival waivers and the iPad POS. One company, two platforms, and this page says which is which.
