Seth
Watersports was instilled into Seth’s core at a very young age. He first hit the water at 9 months old, and he was pulling his dad and uncle at slalom skiing by age 11. Since then he has developed a passion for board sports and a wide array of watersports skills. His love for watersports and the boating lifestyle landed him jobs in the marine industry. With almost a decade of experience working in marine dealerships, he has gained invaluable knowledge of a majority of boat brands and boating lifestyle. He is passionate about sharing his boating expertise and helping others learn to love the lake as much as he does.
Jess
Jess has also been a lover of water and watersports since she was a child. Today she continues to enjoy many different water activities, and particularly enjoys sharing them with others. In her spare time, when she is not working, she is usually found somewhere on the water with Seth.

I HAVE NEVER WAKEBOARD/SURFED/SKIED BEFORE. WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I COME OUT FOR MY FIRST LESSON?Beginners should expect to be in the water and learn the basic form, body positioning, and board control techniques. Many people are able to get up on the water during their first session!

WHAT INFORMATION WILL SETH NEED FROM ME IF I’M TAKING LESSONS?Seth will need to know your height, weight, foot size, and experience level in order to get you started.

ARE ALL LESSONS OR SERVICES PRIVATE? CAN MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS RIDE IN THE BOAT DURING MY TIME?We understand that you want to share your awesome experiences with friends and family. However, to maximize your one on one time with Seth, you should limit distractions. We request that you keep your spectators to a minimum in order to avoid excessive disruptions. After all, this is your time to shine!

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD ON MY SCHEDULED DAY?Of course clear sunny skies are what we all hope for, but sometimes Mother Nature just does not cooperate. If the weather conditions are not conducive to safety or a successful lesson, rescheduling at no charge is available. However, light rain does not necessarily require rescheduling. You’re gonna be wet anyway!
-
WHEN DO I ARRIVE FOR MY LESSON?You should plan to arrive for your lesson 15-20 minutes ahead of scheduled time in order to get set up and ready for the water.
