Family members may be new to boating. We have 5 decades of experience driving boats, are on the water most days of the years, and are familiar with most makes and models. If you have a new driver and want them to learn to drive Wake Surfers, Wake Foilers, and or Tubers safely, this lesson is for you.

This is not a replacement for Coast Guard training. A valid state boaters license is a pre-requisite. Half-Life assumes no liability for any actions of former students.
