Welcome to WakeScout™, where we will help you "Get an edge on the water™."

Sharing your passion for getting out on the water, we work with researchers and WakeScout community members all over the world to identify where you can-

   Waterski Wakeskate Tricks Kneeboard Show Ski
   Wakeboard Wakesurf Jump Hydrofoil Ski Race
   Barefoot        

No matter where your travels take you, we want to provide a resource that will let you know where you can get in the water.

RESORTS We have identified resorts that offer wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakesurfing, etc. to their guests. This activity will be either on-site or a very short distance from the resort.

CLUBS The clubs we have identified provide non-members with the opportunity to check them out. In some cases, they require an AWSA card or the like. Check the "Requirements for non-members" on the information page for the club you are interested in.

SCHOOLS We have identified schools that offer instruction and training, as well as the discipline(s) they offer instruction and training in. Wherever possible, we have provided information on the size of classes, whether the school offers on-site accommodations, and, if there is access to a course, jump, rails, sliders etc.

CHARTERS The charter services we have identified will take you out on the water so you can enjoy your favorite watersport. In most cases they offer instruction and have equipment for you to use, so you can just show up and get on the water.

CABLE PARKS No boat required. Just show up, grab a handle and start shredding.

MARINAS We have identified marinas that offer some kind of "ski boat" and equipment for rent, so all you need to do is show up. The boats vary by manufacturer, size, type, and power. We have tried to get as much information as possible on the boats and equipment offered for rent.

 

You are encouraged to submit reviews and comment on any listing, and are welcome to share your photos and videos with the WakeScout community.

The CONNECT ON THE WATER section was developed to provide the WakeScout community with an easy way to find someone to get out on the water with. Whether you're traveling somewhere in the world, just moved to a new area or want to find a "third" to join you, we have developed an easy way for you to find someone to connect on the water with.

For all the listings we have identified, we attempt to provide you with-

  • Complete contact information: Address / Telephone / Website / E-mail
  • The name of the lake, bay, river, etc. where they are located.
  • The discipline(s) (wakeboarding, waterskiing, barefoot, wakesurfing, etc.) available to you.
  • The manufacturer, model, size, type and horsepower of their boat(s).
  • The brand of equipment available for your use in case you are traveling without your gear.
  • Whether there is access to a ski course, rails, kickers, sliders or to a jump ramp.
  • The hours they operate.

Additionally, we rely on the WakeScout community to provide any information you may have regarding conditions at waterspots around the world-

  • Water temperature for each season
  • Wind patterns community members can expect
  • The amount of watercraft traffic on certain days and/or times of day
  • The current water level

While we do our best to ensure we provide the WakeScout community with as accurate and complete information as possible, we do rely on you to let us know if any information is inaccurate or needs to be updated. Just access the "Update a Listing" form found throughout the site. We appreciate your help.
