What Surfers Are Saying
Brian Gionta
Retired NHL Hockey Player with 1000+ games, a Stanley Cup, and USA Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee.
“I went from—never wakesurfing—to getting up holding the rope—to SURFING in just a few runs. Thanks for giving me the confidence and igniting a new passion for me – it’s absolutely addicting - what a way to spend a day on the water with WakeSurf 585. Thanks for helping this amateur become addicted to a new sport! Can’t wait to get this retired body back on the surfboard”
Cody Preston
15 Year Old, 8th grader at Webster Spry, skier, hockey player, golfer, and skateboarder.
“When my dad introduced me to wakesurfing I was so excited. I remember my first time out lying in the water and my dad told me to keep my knees bent and to put my heels into the back of the board so water could get under the board to pop me up. I had a great time learning and it only took me a couple of times before I could drop the rope and ride on my own.”
Rory Fitzpatrick
Retired NHL Hockey Player, Rochester Legend, Father of 4, and best scramble golfer in the 585!
“My three boys have all wakesurfed, I was intrigued by the concept since I grew up water skiing. Next thing you know I am in the water giving wakesurfing a GO - what a rush, the smoothness of the boat got this 45 yr old body out of the water. It took me a few runs to get the feeling of the wave, once I did - dropped the rope and I was surfing, What a RUSH. WakeSurf 585 gave me the tools to get up and surf, I am ALL IN!
