Water Sports

Idling out onto the lake before sunrise to grab the first set of the day, getting your child up behind the boat for the first time, getting settled on the block before the race or the end of the dock at a tournament.  All are reasons you (and we) are watersports enthusiasts.

Behind the Boat

Learn How

We’ll show you the proper way to fit a PFD and teach you how boat driving differs from wakeboard to waterskiing, tubing to wakeskating. And because we’re out on the wake when we’re not helping you here, feel free to ask for advice on locations to play while you’re in the Northwoods.
