What our clients have to say!
Our passion is watersports and you! We hope you walk away as happy as our existing clients.
"My 3 children learnt to wakeboard when they were 5 years old. For over 20 years we have never encountered a coach like Sim. He is by far superior to any other coach we have ever had. He is able to break down the instructions and make it super easy to follow. He made every moment count as he gave feedback at every opportunity.
Whether you're a “newbee” or more experienced, you will not be disappointed with Sim."
“Simon is one of the best coaches I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He coached our Face of Today Wakeboard camp with so much knowledge and passion it was infectious. The kids loved working with him and their skills flourished in record time with his ability to coach youth with such patience and hands on coaching abilities.
I have had the pleasure of being coached by Simon in water skiing and he is extremely knowledgeable and always gives me such helpful tips that helps me build confidence to push myself outside my comfort zone. Very grateful for our paths to have crossed over the years. Everyone I know who has had the opportunity of being coached by Simon has nothing but glowing remarks”
