BEGINNER SKI LESSONS

Learn to ski with two skis!! I provide for you combo skis to learn on, ranging from child, teen, and adult size skis. Learn first with an on-land instruction, followed by boom training, then short line and long line skiing. Register for a single hour or 90 minute Private Lessons with Megan! 

*I highly recommend 90 minute session if multiple children or the entire family is registering for the lesson to give everyone enough time to shred!!

 

SWIVEL SKI

It's like yoga and ballet on water!! Beginner lessons include learning the basic hop dock, toe turns on a trick release, and 180 hand passes. Intermediate lessons include 360 hand passes, split catches, and overhead presses. Advanced lessons include reverse 360's and overhead 360's. Equipped with a trick release to make sure your safety is number one importance, learn the hardest act in the Water Ski Shows with ease. Swivel skiing is the  utmost grace and finesse in all water ski disciplines!!

SLALOM SKI 

Upgrade your pair of combo skis to just one single ski! Beginner to intermediate lessons include learning how to drop a ski, deep water slalom starts, how to improve your cut and attain a bigger spray. Advanced lessons include the benefits of shortening the rope, and how to navigate the bouys in a course for a contest. Get faster times between the bouys with a shorter rope in these advanced slalom ski lessons with Megan Welz!

 

BAREFOOT WATER SKI

Learn the fastest sport on two feet! Beginner lessons include practicing step-offs from a boom and proper technique of how to fall safely. Intermediate lessons include deep water starts off the short line, long line, as well as wake crosses. Advanced barefoot lessons include how to ski thru the choppy water and boat rollers, one footing, toe holds, and even backwards barefooting!! All you need is your feet!

SAUCER SKI

Try just about anything on this round piece of plywood, even a Headstand!! The most basic object to keep you the most afloat, kids can try to ski on this without worrying about their skis sliding apart or loosing the skis off their feet. Only going about 5-10mph on this, kids will get the feeling of standing up and being towed behind a boat. Master this and their skiing world opens to many other skiing possibilities, even atop of this saucer! Learn 360's with this, a headstand, and much more! 

 

WAKE SURF

Land locked, but still shredding! Fill up the ballasts, weigh down the back of the boat with friends, and grab a surf board to have some ocean steeze on the lake! Beginner lessons include how to get up to standing and learn to surf without the need of the rope. Intermediate lessons include pumping the wake and gaining skills to carve heel side and toe side. Advanced lessons include 360s and ariels. Don't let being land-locked stop you from being your true inner surfer

WAKE BOARD

Using a huge wake and fly high pylon to get more air, learn all the tricks of wake boarding! Beginner lessons include riding, cutting heel side and toe side, and getting some air off the wake. Intermediate lessons include wake to wake crosses, riding switch, and hitting a double up for the first time. With advanced wakeboard lessons. I call in the experts to assist to help you throw the most impressive tricks on water such as 360s, backflips, and more!
