Coached step-by-step

Start on the dock, then progress through prone, knee, and stand-up phases with your coach on a chase boat.

Beginner-friendly Waydoo EVO

Wide, stable platform plus a low-speed learning mode — exactly the board first-timers should be on.

Solo or with friends

Private, duo, and small-group lessons. Bring a partner and split the coach across the session.

90-minute sessions

Enough time to actually fly. Most riders are up and gliding within the first 30 minutes.

Calm North Tahoe launch spots

We meet you at Kings Beach, Tahoe City, or another protected Truckee-area cove based on conditions.

Try before you buy

We're an authorized Waydoo dealer — demo the full EVO lineup on the water before deciding on a board of your own.

Who's this for?

Riders age 12 and up, roughly 80–260 lbs. Comfort in deep water is the only real prerequisite — board sports experience is a nice-to-have but absolutely not required.
