A Sit Down With Wakening Watersports

By Blog
Author: Abby Siemer

Wake for Warriors was founded in 2012 by David Deep, a veteran who served more than 28 years in active and reserve services for the US marines. He understood the importance of having a space to enjoy himself and heal after experiencing the hardships of serving in our armed forces. Kirby’s School of Wake got an exclusive interview with John Schmersal, who along with his wife, AnnMarie Schmersal and colleagues Rick Keeton and Adam Wensink run the northwest chapter of Wake for Warriors.

Picture This

It’s spring! The weather is changing, the trees are full of leaves, the sun is shining, and when you wake up in the morning and look out the window, the water is as smooth as glass. Inboards are starting to buzz around on the lake, as people are taking them out for the first time this year. If you scroll through Instagram, it’s already loaded with videos or pictures of wakeboarders and surfers back on the water… it makes me have that itch… that motivation and desire to be out there too.  On top of that, the weather is finally warm enough to really spark the wakeboarding or wakesurfing fire in your soul.

FUN FITNESS

By: Amy Gatlin

Working out and getting in shape doesn’t always have to mean going to the gym.  Fitness, both inside of a gym and outside of a gym, can be fun.  In fact, making fitness fun is the best way to ensure you are staying committed to your workout!

Throughout the years, I’ve realized the importance of finding a hobby that keeps me active.  When I find a hobby that keeps me active, I inadvertently find myself getting into better shape while having fun.  It’s a win-win situation; the hobby helps me stay in shape and better my health, but I also want to get into better shape to become better at the hobby.

The groundhog saw his shadow, and Jack Frost keeps nipping at the noses of people in the Central and Northern United States, setting the tone for the winter blues.  Winter holidays are over, snowboard and ski trips have been taken, and you’ve been cooped up for a few months.  The days are slowly getting a little longer, teasing of the warm weather that is to come.

Kirby Liesmann, owner and team captain of Kirby’s School of Wake, along with several of his athletes, attended the WWA World Championships in September, in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

Wakeboarding lesson in Fort Myers, Florida

Shred Sisters Day on the Water

By Blog

By Grace Thuen

Spending a day out on the lake has always been my favorite. I can’t put a finger on what my favorite part about it is–quality time with friends and family, being out in the sun, wakeboarding, or the music playing through the speakers–but there’s something about the whole experience that brings me so much joy. I always feel so at peace, truly leaving me with a sense of what Heaven must be like, in ways. And that’s exactly what the enemy is after [to steal the things we love, moments and experiences that bring us joy].

The Wake of Fort Myers

By Blog
When most people are up north freezing their way through winter, I get to enjoy a watersports paradise on the Caloosahatchee River in sunny Southwest Florida. Ever since expanding my wakeboard and wakesurf school to Fort Myers, I’ve always wanted to get a crew of riders together to make a video highlighting this amazing spot. This winter that dream came true, as we were able to get a stacked crew to film with my buddy, Hayden Smith. We had one of the top Professional Women’s Riders, Tarah Mikacich, Veterans Pro, Dayle Cartwright, Jr. Pro Rider, Jaden Reichl and myself. Read More
