Sign your child up for summer camp by clicking this link here.
MY CHILD HAS NEVER WAKESURFED BEFORE - CAN THEY STILL SIGN UP?
Absolutely! We have a highly skilled team of instructors who specialize in a diverse range of wakesurfing techniques. Whether your child is a beginner looking to master the basics, aiming to ride without the rope, or eager to explore more advanced tricks, our instructors are here to support and guide them every step of the way!
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COST?
The following items are included in this package: a wakesurf boat that will be chartered and operated by at least 3 licensed staff members, the cost of gas for the boat, Coast Guard Approved life jackets, wakesurf boards suitable for various skill levels and riding styles, customized lunch and snacks for campers with allergies, bottled water, activities for unfavorable weather conditions, as well as all necessary materials for these activities.
WHAT MEASURES ARE YOU TAKING TO ENSURE CAMPER SAFETY?
Our staff prioritizes safety and continuously monitors the weather conditions on Canandaigua Lake. This allows us to assess the suitability of being on the water, understand the impact of wind on our boats, and determine when it's necessary to switch to inclement weather activities. All food and drink provided during the camp will be carefully customized to accommodate camper allergies and prevent any cross-contamination. Our boats are operated exclusively by licensed captains approved by the state of New York, and in addition to the necessary boat operators and instructors, there will always be at least one lifeguard on board. On land, campers will stay together, and if the weather conditions require indoor activities, we have designated spaces available. When it comes to water activities, each individual on the boat will be assigned a Coast Guard Approved life jacket appropriate for their age and weight.
WHAT SHOULD I SEND MY CHILD TO CAMP WITH?
We will provide all the necessary equipment for your child, including life jackets, boards, and fishing gear, so you don't need to worry about those. However, we kindly ask that you pack a backpack for your child with the following items: extra sunscreen, a towel, sneakers, and a weather-appropriate outfit in case we need to spend some time on land during the day. Your child is more than welcome to bring their own camera or phone to capture their experiences throughout the week, and we will ensure it is safely stored while they are on the water. Wetsuits are not required, but if your child prefers the added warmth while in the water or if the weather forecast indicates lower temperatures during any of the camp days, feel free to send them with a wetsuit if they wish to have one.
HOW DOES DROP OFF AND PICK UP WORK?
Please drop off your camper(s) in the morning between 8:00-8:30 am at our main Canandaigua Sailboard location at 11 Lakeshore Drive. On the first day, we will have parents come in to sign any necessary waivers and address any last-minute questions. We will leave the shop at 8:30 to head to the boat, so please ensure you arrive on time to participate in pre-surf yoga and stretching activities! When it's time to pick up your camper(s) from wakesurf camp, simply arrive at 11 Lakeshore Drive by 2 pm, and our staff will be there to greet you. We will go through a sign-off process and verify that the authorized adult, previously designated, is the one picking up the camper(s).

LUCAS BERARD
Hobbies: Snowboarding (33 years)
Bio: started skateboarding and snowboarding at a very young age. Snowboarding has brought me all around the world from Argentina to Chile, British Columbia, Colorado, California. Growing up in northern Vermont everyone in my town either skied or played hockey. I chose snowboarding from the start. I have always had a function over fashion mentality when it comes to my gear and these examples of what I’m running, are no exception, although still very stylish.
Korua: Otto Plus (In-Store Only)
My favorite board right now, super light, super responsive and a very burly build. Nice and still tail that will support you on those backseat landings. Super fast base, and easy to repair with it being all black
Arc'Teryx Sabre SV Jacket
Amazing fit, fits like a snowboard jacket should! And has out performed any of my other shells. Amazing waterproofing and breathability.
Woolf Svarthetta Balaclava
Couldn’t hit the mountain without it, super warm, quick drying, and never freezes up like other balaclavas I’ve owned.
OLIVIA BRAVO
Hobbies: Snowboarding / Climbing / Lifting / Hiking / Traveling / Fashion
Bio: I love anything and everything to do with staying active in an adventurous way. Pursuing and connecting with nature and the outdoors is my lifeline. Naturally, the clothes I wear are just as important to keep me comfortable and stylish for the spontaneity of my adventures.
Vans Womens Hi-Standard OG
As someone who likes to be comfortable and cozy, and someone who has tried many, many different snowboard boots, these are by far my favorite that I own. When my riding style for the day is centered around slow laps and playing around, these boots are my first pick out of the lineup. The V1 Ultracush Liner and V1 popcush Footbed provide me ultimate comfort for landing side hits on the mountain and multiple riding hours.
Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 70L
Roadtripping is my favorite thing in the WORLD. Unfortunately, I'm a heavy packer. I mean it. Thanks to this 70L I can fit what I actually need, AND all the stuff I don't! My favorite feature of this bag is that you can attach the shoulder straps and use it like a backpack. It's a clean looking bag, has a shiny finish to it, and the inside pockets are super functional.
Rivvia Projects Men's Flow Hoodie / Men's Reason Hoodie
Hoodies are my favorite article of clothing, and these are my favorite hoodies. The boxy fit and thickness keeps me cozy no matter where I'm going or what I'm doing. I've worn this during winter to keep me warm, or early summer mornings/late summer nights to keep me cozy. I also support this brand so much because of what they stand for and the way it resonates with my lifestyle.
KAITLYNN SWEENEY
Hobbies: Rock Climbing (10 Years) (Snowboarding 4 Years) Camping (Whole life) SUP (11 Years)
Bio: California and Texas native with a deep-rooted love for nature. Spending my childhood near the beaches of Southern CA, and living on Lake Conroe in TX, I've always found ways to be outside. Currently, rock climbing occupies much of my time throughout the year, a passion I've pursued since 2014. And thanks to my time here at Neon Wave, In the Winter of 2020 I found a love for snowboarding in my late 20s!
Arc'Teryx Women’s Konseal Harness / Men’s Konseal Harness
As someone who's spent countless hours at the indoor gym, I can't recommend this harness enough. The thick padding around the hips provides unbeatable comfort during long climbing sessions, while the adjustable straps ensure a perfect fit every time. Its streamlined design allows for unrestricted movement, and the mesh paneling keeps things cool even during those hotter months. Just a heads up for ice climbers, there are no ice clipper slots!
Patagonia Mini MLC Bag / Black Hole MLC Bag
Trust me, this backpack is a game-changer for travelers and commuters alike. It's my ride-or-die plane travel companion, fitting snugly under the seat as a personal item, even when it's bursting at the seams! Packed with pockets and compartments, it keeps all my essentials organized, and the recent redesign now includes a handy pocket for your water bottle. Plus, it's a breeze to clean, making life on the go a whole lot easier.
Smith I/O MAG Goggles
Finding the perfect goggles can be a struggle, but the I/O MAG? Pure perfection. They fit like a dream, no gaps or fogging. The ChromaPop lens tech is an absolute game-changer for visibility and clarity, especially on those cloudy East Coast days. My googles came with the Chromapop Storm Yellow Flash as the spare, and they have been incredible to have! Making this kit versatile for any condition.
