We had an incredible time out on Lake Norman with Ride Wake & Surf Co. We were accompanied by our captain, Martin, and trainer, Wyatt. They were absolutely phenomenal and incredibly helpful while teaching us how to ride on the water.
I hadn't been wakeboarding since I was 12, so I was naturally a little nervous. Luckily, with encouraging words from Martin and a few helpful tips from Wyatt, I was able to get up on the board in no time.
It didn't stop there, though. We also brought out the surfboard to ride some waves and capture some pictures. After that, we finished the day with a ride on an inflatable tube.
Overall, we had an incredible experience on the water.

My love for the water reached a new level after this outing with Ride Wake & Surf Co. While I was nervous at first, the instructors were patient, encouraging and made every activity feel approachable. They took the time to explain each step, offer tips and cheer everyone on throughout the experience, which helped build my confidence.
One of the highlights of the day was successfully wake surfing for the first time. It was a rewarding accomplishment and a moment I will remember. There is nothing like finally finding your balance and riding the wave after several attempts. Between activities, it was relaxing to cruise across Lake Norman, enjoy the scenery, listen to music and take in the experience from the water. The lake was the perfect temperature, making every moment on and in the water enjoyable.
Whether you are a beginner looking to try something new or someone with experience on the water, I recommend Ride Wake & Surf Co. Their instructors and atmosphere make it easy to have fun while learning new skills. Just be prepared to discover muscles you didn't know you had the next day.

We had a day out on the water with Ride Wake & Surf Co. Our captains Martin and Kyle were open to how we wanted to spend our time and made sure every moment was filled with activity. From wakesurfing and tubing to cruising on their pontoon boat, the experience was strong. As someone who is a novice to watersports, I was a little nervous, but Martin's guidance and encouragement helped me get up on the board. Their patience and positivity made a difference. Their pontoon boat was spacious and a place to relax between activities.

I had a great time with Ride Wake & Surf Co. This was my first experience with watersports, and I couldn't have asked for a better crew. Martin and Wyatt provided instruction and tips for both wakeboarding and wakesurfing. They were patient, supportive and encouraging throughout the experience. As a beginner, I had no idea what I was doing, so their guidance and encouragement made a difference.
We started with wakeboarding, which was my favorite part of the day. Thanks to Wyatt's coaching, I was able to stand up on the board for a few seconds. With more sessions, I'm confident I'll be riding the wake. Wakesurfing was enjoyable, and we wrapped up the day with a ride on the tube.
