lake lovers club offers apparel and gear designed for those who live life on the water, including hats, tees and accessories.

passing the handle means introducing someone new to towed water sports like waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, etc. it’s about giving someone their first ride behind the boat and helping grow the lake community one person at a time.

towed water sports are activities where a rider is pulled behind a boat, including waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing and kneeboarding. these sports are a core part of lake culture and bring people together on the water.

getting started is simple -- find someone with a boat, a life jacket and the right equipment, and give it a try. the best way to learn is by going with experienced riders who can help you get comfortable and show you the basics.

also, check out nearby cable parks and book a wakeboard lesson with an instructor.

start in the water with your knees bent and the board flat. keep your arms straight, let the boat pull you up and focus on standing slowly instead of pulling yourself forward. once you’re up, stay relaxed and let the board glide.

wakeboarding is usually easier for most beginners because both feet are attached to the board, which helps with balance. waterskiing can feel more technical at first, especially when learning how to get up on two skis.

wakeboarding uses a rope the entire time and is typically done at higher speeds. wakesurfing happens at slower speeds behind the boat’s wake, and riders often drop the rope and surf freely once they’re up.

yes, wakesurfing is generally considered beginner-friendly because of the slower speeds and softer falls. like any water sport, safety comes down to proper setup, awareness and following responsible boating practices.

wear a properly fitted life jacket, swimwear or quick-dry clothing and gear that’s comfortable when wet. lightweight, breathable apparel is best for long days on the water.

wake responsibly is an initiative by the water sports industry association that's all about boating in a way that protects lakes, shorelines and other people on the water. that includes keeping a safe distance from shore, avoiding repetitive passes in the same area and being mindful of other lake users.

you can help protect lake access by following local regulations, practicing good lake etiquette, supporting organizations that advocate for waterway access and educating others on responsible boating practices.

good lake etiquette means keeping a safe distance from shore (at least 200 feet), avoiding repetitive passes in the same area and being aware of other boats, swimmers and lake users.

keep it simple and low pressure. start with beginner-friendly equipment, give clear instructions and focus on making it fun. the goal isn’t perfection; it’s getting them up and enjoying their first time on the water.
