Down in the sunny, pie-lovin' state of North Carolina, there's a whole gang of adventurous kiddos who've swapped their bicycles for something a bit more...splashy. You see, these kids are absolutely wild about wakeboarding. From the misty smoky mountains to the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, the waters of NC are always brimming with these buoyant daredevils. Now, our story centers around one cool cat named Wacky Wavy Winston, or just Win for short. Winston, with his neon-green goggles and flashy shark-tooth necklace, is the undeniable king of wakeboarding in these waters. He's got a wild mop of sun-bleached hair that makes him look like a super cool sea-borne scarecrow, and a grin wider than the Catawba River. Winston and his crew of wakeboarding whizzes rule NC's waters with their epic flips, daring jumps, and ridiculous tricks. They zip across the water faster than a roadrunner from a coyote, creating tremendous waves in their wake (hence the name, 'wakeboarding'). But let me tell you, these aren't your average kids. Oh no, they’re kind of like aquatic superheroes! You'd think they had fins instead of feet, the way they glide and flip over the water. And the best part? Their infectious laughter and joy that echo across the water. Because in the end, it's not just about the thrill of wakeboarding, it's about the camaraderie, the shared laughs, and the unforgettable memories created under the warm North Carolina sun. So, strap on a lifejacket, grab a board, and join Winston and his friends for a splashin' good time in the wave-crashing world of wakeboarding!

For the past twenty years, the Watkins have been passionate about boating and the great outdoors. Eight of those years were spent sailing in some of the world's most beautiful locations. But when they discovered Jordan Lake, located in the Triangle region of North Carolina, they knew they had uncovered a special treasure.

The Watkins have made it their mission to share the wonders of Jordan Lake and the outdoors with other families and children. They are committed to making sure that visitors to the lake can enjoy its beauty without it being ruined by housing or development. Don and Heidi believe that spending time in nature is an invaluable experience, and they are proud to share it with their customers and friends.
