Nope, not at all. Honestly most of our riders have never touched a wakeboard before their first session with us. We start from zero — how to stand, how to hold the rope, what to do when you fall (because you will, and that's part of the fun). Our coaches have taught complete beginners and they're good at it. You just show up, we handle the rest.

Board shorts or a swimsuit is all you need clothing-wise. Bring a towel, sunscreen, and maybe a change of clothes for after. Everything else — board, bindings, life jacket, rope — is already taken care of. Oh and if you wear contacts, maybe leave those at home or grab some goggles. The water spray is real.

Up to 8 people can come out on the boat for a session. Keep in mind only one person rides at a time, so the more riders you have the less water time each person gets. We usually recommend no more than 4 riders if everyone wants a solid amount of time on the board. Got a bigger group? Shoot us a message and we'll figure out the best setup for you.

Safety is the first thing we go over before anyone gets near the water — no exceptions. Everyone wears a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, we go over hand signals, what to do if you fall, how to stay clear of the boat. The water in South Florida is also calm and flat most days which makes it ideal. We've never had a serious incident and we plan to keep it that way.

Miami weather can be unpredictable — we get it. If conditions aren't safe to ride (lightning, heavy wind, rough water) we'll reach out to reschedule at no charge. A little rain? We usually still go. You're getting wet either way. We'll always communicate with you ahead of time so you're never left guessing.
