FAQ
Bookings, Locations & more:
The more notice you are able to give us, the better chance of getting your desired time slot. We typically book up about a week before the date for midweek lessons and two weeks on weekends. If it’s less notice than that, however, give us a call and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Dockside & Private Lessons
Dockside Clinics use our boat — we bring everything to you.
Private Lessons are for guests who already own a wake boat and want our instructors on their boat, on their lake.
Dockside pricing covers sessions on lakes where we already operate. Trailering applies when we need to haul the boat to a different lake — in-area and out-of-area rates apply depending on distance.
Wakeboarding, wakesurfing, wakefoiling, and waterskiing are all available. You can stick to one sport or mix it up across your session. Ask about adding an E-Foil demo to your booking.
No. We work with any make or model of wake boat — MasterCraft, Malibu, Nautique, Centurion, or anything else. If it can pull a rider, we can coach from it.
Our boats have the capacity for 12 people in your group in addition to our two instructors. We recommend no more than three participants per hour to make sure everyone has the enough time behind the boats. Spectators are welcome.

Wakeboarding:
Wakeboarding comes from the boardsports family, where both feet are riding one board standing sideways.The rider is pulled behind a motorized boat or pulley cable system on top of the water. Wakeboarding utilizes the wake of the boat to perform gymnastic style tricks.
Yes! Waterskiing and wakeboarding differ in that skiing allows you to have independent function of each ski – with wakeboarding you are one unit with the board. We will break down the learning process and give you step-by-step instruction in the boat as well as in the water.
There is no defined age you need to be to start wakeboarding. We have taught students as young as 4 and as old as 65. You should be comfortable floating in the water on your own and if needed, one of our coaches will assist you in the water.
No, wakeboarding is possible behind any motorized watercraft with enough power to pull you out and on top of the water. Wakeboarding boats are specifically designed to make your experience easier and more enjoyable with certain features such as the towing tower, engine placement and hull design.
Wakesurfing:
Yes! Muskoka Wake has offered wakesurfing since we started in 2012. Due to its growing popularity and advances in boat technology like the Malibu Surf Gate, wakesurfing is now one of the largest parts of our business.
Wakesurfing is a water sport in which a surfer trails behind a wakeboard boat, surfing the boat’s wake without being directly attached to the boat. The wake from the boat mimics the look and feel of an actual ocean wave. After getting up on the wave by use of a tow rope, wake surfers drop the rope and ride the steep face below the wave’s peak in a fashion reminiscent of ocean surfing. Wake surfers generally use special boards, usually five feet or shorter.
Although it looks like you’re close, you will always be 6-12 feet off of the boat. If you do fall forward, the boats forward momentum will be far out of your way by the time you fall. With the help of Malibu’s surf exhaust system, carbon emissions are sent behind the rider, giving them fresh air to breathe in.
E-Foils:
The recommended age limit is 12 due to the need for quick responses in unexpected situations. Riders under 12 might be accepted with prior experience, written consent, and liability release from parents.
Most guests are first-time riders. E-Foiling shares similarities with paddleboarding. It typically takes 1-2 hours to become accustomed to the board. Prior experience in watersports or board sports might expedite the learning process.
E-Foils offer smoother movements resembling deep snow snowboarding and provide a sensation similar to surfing. Control involves weight shifting. Conversely, jet boards lack similar turning ability and are often equipped with foot straps and handles for easier maneuvering.
Yes — e-foils are fully legal and regulated in Canada. Muskoka Wake operates as a Lift Foils exclusive affiliate and all sessions are fully licensed and insured. Book a demo, lesson, or multi-day rental to get started.
Flyboarding:
Yes! Muskoka Wake has offered flyboarding since 2016 using Zapata Racing Pro Series equipment — the same gear used by professional riders worldwide. We bring the full setup right to your dock.
The Flyboard is a water jet board that connects to a jetski. The flyer’s feet are strapped onto the board. The power from the jetski converts in to a 45 foot hose and out the jet outlets on the board.
Although it looks dangerous, flyboarding is meant to be very safe and graceful for beginners. With our knowledgeable and experienced staff controlling your flight, we’ll make sure you’re never flown beyond your comfort zone and abilities. You’ll also be wearing a helmet and coast guard approved life jacket for added safety.
There is no minimum age required to flyboard, but due to the power of the system, you must be a minimum 80 pounds to fly.
If you still have unanswered questions, send them via the contact form on our contact page. If your questions have a wider appeal, we’ll post them here on our FAQ page.
What Riders Are Saying
15 seasons. Real Sessions. Real Summers.
We had wake surfing lessons and our party was made up of beginners and experienced surfers. Everyone had a great time and felt like they got attention and the support they needed to improve and enjoy themselves.
The boat was clean, spacious, and state of the art. There were 10 of us and we were comfortable and could move around easily.
Would repeat, and would highly recommend.
I was pretty intimidated to try something new, especially with my coworkers who are already skilled and passionate about watersports. But Cole, Mitch, and Matt were incredibly professional, friendly, and welcoming—they made me feel at ease right away. Mitch was a fantastic coach—super encouraging and clearly knows what he’s doing. I attribute a lot of my positive experience to his guidance. Cole was driving while I was in the water, but he was still tuned into my progress and gave me some great tips too, which I really appreciated!
Highly recommend Muskoka Wake to anyone, especially beginners who might feel nervous about getting started. The team is next level!
Our experience was professional from beginning to end. The driver and spotter We’re tied up at the dock when we arrived. Cam and Chase Introduced themselves from the get go, and were very personable and friendly.
Cam is a skillful driver and very knowledgeable instructor. His fun attitude combined with his technical knowledge make him an excellent coach.
Chase clearly loves surfing and does an excellent job hyping the crew with technical talk that is highly relatable and natural so that it is easy to remember and execute.
These guys made a great team and relayed stories and info about all sorts of related activities adding to the overall experience at a different level.
The equipement and boat they brought was top quality. They had multiple board shapes and sizes. I brought my own and I was glad I did because the wave was unbelievable and very different from my malibu wakesetter.
We were in a super air 23 which was a tonne of space and a huge wave. 8 50 yr old men fit comfortably.
I have hired muskoka wake now for 10 years and the one really consistent thing that shows up with all my experiences is the level of commitment to fun in the sport, along with safe practice and quality equipment.
We have wakeboarded and flyboarded in multiple locations In muskoka, including our own doc. Year after year the consistency of the message and the quality of delivery is still excellent.
Very nice work to the muskoka wake team.
And sorry, also the office team who took my booking and provided session reminders leading up to our day. AMAZING helpful and very professional, thank you.
Captain Jack went above and beyond especially with the children who haven’t stopped talking about him… the connection and confidence they had in and with him made it easy for them to trust him, to get out of their comfort zone and to progress their skills.
Their watercraft are luxurious, top of the line machines that make it easy to learn and comfortable to cheer on your friends/family!
In my opinion Muskoka Wake is the easiest way to upgrade your Muskoka holiday from great to Epic. We look forward to our next experience with Muskoka Wake.
We had a staff event with Muskoka Wake last night and everyone had an absolute blast. From experienced surfers to complete newbies, everyone got up and rode successfully, the stoke couldn’t have been higher.
Couldn’t recommend Muskoka Wake more to anyone and EVERYONE.
Thanks guys
