He has shared his love of board sports with his family and friends over the years in addition to becoming certified as an AASI instructor with 7 years of instructing and coaching experience.

The Boat
At the heart of any wake surf event is the boat. There are wake surf boats, and then there is THE wake surf boat. Our 2022 Mastercraft X22 is the most advanced wave-making machine outside of Mother Nature herself. The one advantage we have is our boat isn’t finicky like Mother Nature. The state-of-the-art technology on the X22 produces the biggest, most customizable, and reproducible wave in the business. But while big is good, it isn’t just the size of the wave that matters. It is also the shape and ability to create “push” that allows riders to stay on the wave with less effort. We can shape the wave to help beginners have success faster, and then amp it up to allow for the advanced rider to have the perfect launching pad for any tricks they want to land.
Great Pond
They say the circumstances make the man but we prefer to say the environment makes the experience. And Great Pond is what makes wake surfing in Central Maine one of the coolest experiences in New England. Great Pond is the setting for the Earnest Thompson movie “On Golden Pond”. Sure it was filmed in NH, but he was writing about Great Pond and the colorful locals. Great Pond is the largest of the seven lakes that comprise The Belgrade Lakes. It is approximately 8400 acres with numerous islands, bays, and coves as well as many shallows. While some hazards are marked, there are many others that are unmarked so local knowledge of the lake is a must for a safe experience. It is not uncommon to see loons, ospreys, or eagles during our sessions. Few places are as beautiful or as tranquil as Great Pond.
