Wakesurfing is for everyone
Whether you are an avid water skier or wakeboarder, or brand new to the world of water sports, Wake Surfing could be your next exciting challenge. Wake Surfing is an up and coming water sport that has become increasingly popular with innovations to larger wakeboard boats.
Wake Surfing requires no previous surfing experience and is safe, easy, and a fun way for those of all ages to enjoy a day on the lake. With the expertise from our instructors we will have you up on the board and surfing in no time!
The Wave
We don't drive to the beach to catch a wave, we create our own endless wave right here at any of the beautiful lakes in Arizona. We are an exclusive wake surf school offering lessons on the Nautique G23. This boat can create a surf wake that extends back as far as 30 feet.
This wake will allow even the heaviest riders to surf without the use of a rope. No longer will you need to pack up the car and drive for hours to a crowded beach and fight for a spot in the lineup.
Phoenix Area - Lessons for all skill levels
Beginner
The rider will learn the “Wake Surfing start” using the rope in order to get to a standing position on the board. From there, the rider will learn proper surf stance and good form. The goal will be to use proper technique to maintain the pocket in order to drop the rope and then free surf behind the boat. The rider will then be introduced to basic tricks such as carving turns, balance maneuvers, floaters, and ollies.
Intermediate
Riders who already have the skill to surf without the rope will learn some more advanced maneuvers in order to enhance their Wake Surfing experience. This skill set will include tricks such as bottom turns, slashes, board slides, ollies and airs, and 360s. The rider will also be introduced to switch riding, backside riding, and surf side transfers.
Advanced
Riders will be encouraged to try more advanced, pro level maneuvers, and combination of maneuvers. Those who are already proficient at switch stance riding will be introduced to tricks such as alley oop, air 360, air 180, and air reverse. Riders will also be introduced to body varials and shuv-its.
