★★★★★Tayler FrancisI highly recommend Kirby and his team! We were at Big Cedar Lodge for the week and our son who is 9 wanted to learn. He is so patient, kind, and truly a great instructor. One of our best experiences in the 20+ years we have been coming down!
★★★★★Amanda WagnerAbsolutely thrilled with our experience at Kirby’s School of Wake! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The coaching here is simply unparalleled. My daughter has done two of the girls sessions with Coach Jen, and now four private sessions with Kirby. The level of guidance, care, and expertise provided by the instructors is remarkable. They truly take the time to nurture each student's potential, and I’ve seen a incredible transformation in Zayla in just the short few sessions she has had. Not only has she learned to wakeboard and wake surf, but she’s also discovered a talent we never knew she had. The support and encouragement she receives have helped her believe in herself like never before. It’s amazing to see her confidence grow on the water. Kirby’s School of Wake is not just about teaching skills; it’s about building character and self-belief. I can't recommend them highly enough! Thank you for everything! We are truly grateful…
★★★★★Wade DeProwKirby is awesome! He is the perfect instructor. My 16yo daughter, who barely swims, was up and wake boarding in no time! He was talking to her through her helmet the entire time. Always giving instructions and reassuring her to calm her nerves. We had such a fantastic day we plan on taking the whole family next summer!
★★★★★Natalie BurginAbsolutely wonderful and fun experience!! There are not enough stars for how awesome my 2 surfing lessons with Kirby were. His attention to detail is phenomenal and he explains things in such a precise way that is easy to understand. He is very patient ,kind and motivating and just so much fun to be around! You can tell he loves what he does and it shows through his coaching. Before this weekend I was to the point of just giving up on wake surfing after trying for 4 summers and feeling like I was getting no where. After my 1st session with him I was able to drop the rope quickly every try and stay in the sweet spot . My 2nd session I was able to surf better, try new things and surf even longer 🙂 I will definitely be back and highly recommend him and his company to anyone. Thank you so much Kirby!
★★★★★Kathy CloughWe had a wonderfully time on the water with Kirby! We had a boat of total beginners and he was able to meet everybody where they were skill level wise and help them have success in their own way. He was encouraging, patient, and used great cues to help with coaching young kids get their bodies in the right position. All parties want to go out with Kirby again. It was a great day!
