GOOD WAVES & GREAT TIMES!!!
Nothing but good waves a great times at Surf Fest 2024.
Over forty participants from around the community showed up to shred the best of the best at Lake Lanier Olympic Park.
With a full day ahead in the lineup each surfer got the opportunity to compare surf waves from Malibu, Regal, Axis and Cobalt Boats. Boats were stacked with a quiver of wakesurf boards ranging from skim-style to surf style provided by Liquid Force Wake, Phase 5, and Ronix Wake.
Professional Wakesurfer, World Champion and Liquid Force Global Athlete Jake Caster and Liquid Force Southeast Rep Matt Long joined the fun offering some coaching to our participants.

In our initiative to SERVE the community 100% of the proceeds from Surf Fest went directly to benefit Brave The Wave. Ongoing efforts to support Brave The Wave in their mission helps to provide the ability to travel to new communities of adaptive athletes, purchase new adaptive equipment, and grant their attendees their own equipment or funding to get to events.
