For several years, their talented team of faculty have been mixing different wake-specific chemical equations to find the perfect balance of a-frames, roof tops, boxes and dance floors; perfecting the wake park. At the Bobcaygeon campus they have a private bay filled with the perfect sliders for wakeboarding and wakeskating, and they are constantly adding to the fun with more and more safe obstacles for riders of all abilities. They have everything from first time rails, to a serious A frame and the famous two sided vert and ramp kicker.
