Best Ways to Support Your Local Snowboard or Wakeboard Shop

Published By: Zackery Hathaway


It's easy to forget the heart and soul behind your favorite watersports and Snowboard gear—the local snow and wake shops that fuel your passion and community. At Pull Pro Shop here in Cumming, Georgia, we don’t just sell wakeboards, foils, wakesurfs, goggles, jackets, snowboards and life jackets—we live for the lake life just like you.

Whether you're chasing glassy mornings on Lanier or getting your crew into foiling for the first time, here are the best ways to support your local snowboard, surf or wakeboard shop and make sure these community hubs continue to thrive.


1. Shop Local First

Before you hit “buy now” online, stop by your local shop. We often carry the same brands—and in many cases, we offer better customer service, product knowledge, and even discounts for returning customers. Whether you’re upgrading your wakeboard or testing out a new foil setup, our team is here to help you make the right decision for your riding style.

Bonus: You get to try it, touch it, and sometimes even demo it—something you’ll never get from a screen.


2. Book Lessons or Demos

Trying something new like foiling or wake surfing? Don’t guess—learn with us. Most shops (including ours) offer demos and gear test rides so you can build skills and confidence before you invest.

Not only does this support the shop financially, but it creates a tighter connection between you, your gear, and your sport.


3. Send Friends Our Way

Word of mouth is powerful. If you’ve had a great experience at Pull Pro Shop—share it. Whether it’s sending friends our way, tagging us in your lake-day photos, or writing a Google review, your recommendation helps others find us.

A single referral can make a big difference for a small business.


4. Follow, Like, and Share on Social Media

It might sound small, but your likes, comments, and shares help us reach new people and stay top of mind in a busy digital world. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, tag us in your photos, and let us feature your ride—it all adds up.

Looking for something fun to do? Jump in on our giveaways, promo drops, and events—we love highlighting our local crew.


5. Buy Gift Cards or Shop Off-Season

If you’re not in the market for gear right now, grab a gift card for a friend or stock up during the off-season. Every purchase helps us prepare inventory, staff up, and plan for the next epic lake season.

Off-season support = year-round stoke.


6. Join (or Start) a Local Event or Ride Day

We’re always looking for new ways to connect the community. We host Thursday Surf Nights every Thursday, all summer long! 

Let’s make it happen.

Events bring people together, support the local shop, and build lifelong friendships through shared lake days.


7. Buy Apparel, Stickers, and Swag

Repping Pull Pro Shop on a hat or hoodie not only shows your love for the lake life—it helps fund more gear, more events, and more cool stuff in store. Plus, it just looks good. 😎


Final Thoughts

Your local surf and wakeboard shop is more than just a place to buy gear—it’s where the culture lives. It's the early morning wax talks, the stoke when someone lands their first 360, and the advice from someone who’s been riding since before Instagram.

At Pull Pro Shop, we’re honored to be your local hub for all things wake. And with your continued support, we’ll be here to fuel your summer sessions for years to come.


Come by the shop, say what’s up, and let’s get you dialed in for the season.
We’re here to serve the local crew—because you are what makes the lake life legendary.
