Is the lagoon dangerous for watersports?

As locals, we have been practicing watersports with our family, since we lived in Poktapok, right at the Bojorquez lagoon. The good old days of Cancun, where there were no crocodile warnings banners all around the hotel zone when there were held amateur contests motivating the locals to get involved in the watersports lifestyle. But since 2005 and forth, the now Bojorquez lagoon hotel zone is filled with signals of “dangerous crocodile zone” and this due a few restaurants change the behavior of some crocodiles by providing them with free food. But still to the majority of locals and watersport goers is a fame that is nothing to be feared of even with all the signals, watersports activities like kayaking and the popular trend of the paddleboarding tours thrive on, even flyboard and jungle tour activities go on the water of the lagoon. And with all this navigation, noise and disturbance the crocodile as a scared reptile goes away to the mangroves of the Love and English lagoons situated afar of where we practice watersports, feeling still frightful just stop over thinking it. There has never been a crocodile on a waterskier. It's not like the apex predator is going to chase you over the water at waterskiing speed, worry more on the coconuts of the coconut boulevard.



Watersports background

Developing a sense for a new watersport, called wake surfing is a challenging task, especially if this sport only appeared in the last decade. In the late ’80s, a surfer in the USA got tired of waiting for the waves and anchored his surfboard to a boat to get some exercise by towing the boat to create an artificial wave. Those were the beginnings of the wakesurfing watersport known to this day. The watersport that increases its popularity for the closeness to the boat, and the wakesurf rider is like part of the pack of people on board the wake boat when waterskiing and wakeboarding are like riding solo. Also, the lesser speed creates a louder noise of music coming out of the wake boat and music on means party on.

Wakeboarding is a compound sport. This means that it incorporates features of other activities or extreme sports like Surf, Skate or Snowboard. So it is a complete sport that allows you to work your entire body. Whether to tone or exercise your arms, step up the game with tricks and jumps, wakeboarding in Cancun is one of the best activities you can do in the city. While you can practice on the sea, which sometimes due to our Caribbean weather contains a slight chop, the ideal is always to practice in lakes and lagoons. That’s why it’s already usual to see some people practicing wakeboard on the Nichupte Lagoon by the day.
