Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’ve got you covered! Your coach will walk you through everything you need to know before you hit the water—from safety and body position to what it should feel like when things are going right. We’ll start slow, use specialized beginner equipment, and move at your pace so you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

  • Absolutely! We love when friends and family come along to cheer you on. We just ask that all guests stay seated while in the boat and respect the space of your lesson so you can stay focused and safe.

  • Whether you’re refining your open water turns or running the slalom course, your lesson will be tailored to your experience and goals. We’ll offer feedback, introduce drills when needed, and give you the tips you need to improve quickly without overthinking it.

  • Our lessons are short, but intentional. One 15-minute set gives you focused time on the water, with coaching between passes so you can process and apply each adjustment. It’s a structure that helps you progress efficiently without burning out your body.

  • We provide everything you need for your lesson, including skis, boards, ropes, and life jackets. Wetsuits and gloves are totally optional—we don’t provide them, but they’re available for purchase in our Pro Shop if you’d like to have them. If you prefer to use your own gear, you’re more than welcome to bring it to the dock—whatever you’re most comfortable with! You can always change your mind once you’re here and try out something new if you’d like.
