Iv been putting some money aside for about 2 summers now (about $1750) to go to a wakeboard camp, I was interested if anybody had any recommendations on camps they had been too or heard of...i heard West Coast wakeboardcamp was deffinatley worth the money...thanks, Tom.

I've been to a couple, but I think The Wakeboard Camp is the best. They really know how to break a trick down into small stepping stones and teach it to you without hurting you. They also have drills they teach you to help work on the fundamentals. Once you learn them, you can keep working on them after you've left. They have a bunch of instructors that take different boats out every day, so you can figure out which one suits your style and ride with him. Their prices are reasonable, too. These are the guys who made "The Book" DVD, by the way. Check it out:

If you want the best and plan on being on the podium at natioanl competitions the top three are Mike Ferarro at WWC, Glenn Fletcher at O Town and Travis Moye. These guys don't take everyone and are expensive. Most of us don't need that level. So O-Town (other than Glenn), Wakeboaerd Camp, Hansens are all good. Projects is fun and laid back with the best sliders. Murrays amd Moyes camp is good but expensive and hard to get into.

My family has been to both Gordie Bubilzs camp and Ride the spot w Darin Shapiro. Gordies camp was great for kids ( my parents went also and they had fun too). Darin Shapiros is not really for the kids. He likes the more mature crowd.

Both were great times we rode til our arms fell off.

http://westcoastcamps.com/ is off the hook. They have a sweet houseboat, awesome boats and great coaches. They'll teach you that sick west coast style and Schwenne can do any trick in the book. Relaxed, fun atmosphere, check it out!

Stephan is right, West Coast Camps is worth every penny. Mike is one of the most personable guys in the industry. The rest of the coaches at the camp follow suit with the integrity Mike has. He has surrounded himself with some of the best to help you learn. Try him and you won't be sorry.

Hook up with west coast camps. You will have a great time with Mike and the team. Like Stephan said- great boats, stay on the water for a week and you might even get the chance to see a photo shoot in action.
