Our Experiences
Maya Hutagalung
"I had an absolute blast out on the lake with Ride Wake and Surf Co. I adore boats, so this excursion was no exception. The instructors made the trip all the better. They’re adaptive to what each group wants to get out of their trip. We had a lot of beginners, including me, who had never wake surfed before. In response, they gave us clear instructions to help us enjoy the sport! While out there, I had a front-row seat to all the action, which allowed me to do some fun live sketches of our group shredding waves. We also did water tubing, which became my favorite activity. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great day out on the lake. And, while you're out there, don’t forget to enjoy the scenery!"

"Kyle and Martin were awesome at Ride Wake and Surf Co.! They were super chill right from the jump, which created an atmosphere of relaxation and reassurance, which is crucial for trying activities such as wakesurfing and tubing. I had wake surfed a few times previously to this outing, but was still a beginner! Kyle was able to give me the exact instructions I needed to improve during our session. He understood my skill level right away and knew what I needed to work on. I never felt like I was out of my comfort zone, but it was still exciting at the same time! Tubing was the highlight of the afternoon. It was a great experience hanging on for dear life while watching my fellow interns and coworkers fly off the tube into the water! I would one hundred percent do this again and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for an adventure on the water."

Ride Wake and Surf Co. was a top-tier summer experience. Whether you have never tried water sports or are an experienced wake surfer, the captains customize the day to your skill level and interests. We were lucky to try out the wake boat and the pontoon. Their pontoon was the fastest I’d ever been on. It was relaxing for those on board and, at the same time, thrilling for those wanting to do watersports. On the wake boat, I had limited experience wake surfing, and it was satisfying to be coached and successfully get up on the board. I highly recommend spending a day with Ride Wake and Surf Co.!

I had an amazing experience with Ride Wake and Surf Co.! Kyle and Martin did an amazing job of making everyone feel comfortable and safe. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they went above and beyond to meet all of our needs. I personally really enjoyed watching everyone, and just being on the boat was so much fun and incredibly relaxing. Ride Wake and Surf Co. has new boats every season, so you always feel like you're getting a fresh, top-notch experience. I would definitely go back and try more of the activities. I totally recommend Ride Wake and Surf Co. if you're looking to try something new with your friends and family on the lake. It's the perfect way to enjoy the water, try something exciting, and create lasting memories.

Waking up a little sore and sunburnt has never been so worth it. I had never wakesurfed before, so I was curious and excited to learn how. Martin sped the learning process up for me, as I was able to get up and keep the wave on just my 3rd attempt. Aside from the lessons, our experience on the boat was extremely relaxing. Our MasterCraft X25 and Balise Pontoon boat were really comfortable, had plenty of leg room, were easy to connect to the speakers, and were truly top-of-the-line. The worst part of our experience was having to get off the boat and go home!

Ride Wake and Surf Co. offered such an unforgettable experience! Our boat captains were reassuring and extremely helpful in explaining and catering to our group. Wake surfing was pretty difficult but still fun to try, and the water tubing was a blast. I would love to get back out on the lake with Ride Wake and Surf Co. and keep practicing my wake surfing! Truly a memorable and amazing adventure. We felt supported and encouraged to keep trying, while having a fantastic time on the boat.

We had an unforgettable day out on the water with Ride Wake & Surf Co! Our captains Martin and Kyle were the best—totally open to how we wanted to spend our time and made sure every moment was packed with fun. From wakesurfing and tubing to cruising on their stunning new pontoon boat, the whole experience was top-notch. 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 right away. Their patience and positivity made all the difference. Plus, their brand-new pontoon boat was absolutely gorgeous—spotless, spacious, and the perfect place to relax between activities.
We hope you love learning with Ride Wake and Surf Co. as much we did and want to know about your experience. Be sure to share the fun with us on Facebook and Instagram @VisitLakeNorman!
