Wakesurfing for Families

Ride the Wake: Why Wakesurfing Is the Ultimate Family Thrill Before School Starts

Summer break is flying by—and if you’re looking for one last unforgettable family adventure before school is back in session, it’s time to try wakesurfing with Float On.

Yes, wakesurfing. Even if you’re not a pro athlete (and especially if your kids have endless energy to burn), this water sport is surprisingly doable—and wildly fun—for all ages.


🌊 Wakesurfing: Family Fun with a Splash of Cool

Wakesurfing is kind of like surfing’s chill cousin. You ride the wave just behind a boat, but you’re not being pulled—you’re surfing the boat’s wake. It’s easier to learn than traditional surfing or wakeboarding, and way more comfortable since you’re going slower and closer to the water.

Float On’s wakesurf boats are custom-built for smooth rides, and our experienced captains are amazing teachers—whether you’re 13 or 53. Trust us: the “I stood up on my first try!” moment never gets old.


👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Wakesurfing Is Great for Families

Here’s why families love wakesurfing with Float On:

  • Beginner-friendly: We’ll coach you and cheer you on, step-by-step. No experience needed.

  • Safe & slow: We go at a pace that’s comfortable for beginners and kids.

  • Builds confidence: There’s nothing like the feeling of standing up and riding that wave.

  • Tons of laughs: Even the wipeouts are fun (and soft)!

  • Great for bonding: Watching your kids try something new—and doing it together—makes for incredible memories.

You don’t have to wakesurf the entire rental either. We’ll mix in swim time, tubing, cruising, and dock-and-dine stops depending on your crew’s vibe.


📆 Do It Before the Bell Rings

Let’s be real—once school starts, your calendar’s about to fill up fast. Weekdays go back to routines. Weekends start to vanish into sports games, birthday parties, and homework.
