At Pull Pro Shop, we don’t just sell the gear—we live the lifestyle. Whether you’re carving glassy lakes on a wakeboard, trying your first deepwater start on a slalom ski, or geeking out over the latest foil setup, the watersports community is all about connection, progression, and sharing the stoke.
If you're new to the area, or just looking to get more involved beyond solo lake sessions, here are the top five ways to plug into your local watersports scene:
Many areas have organized watersports clubs that cater to everything from wakeboarding and wake surfing to barefoot skiing and hydrofoiling. These clubs often host weekly meetups, competitions, boat days, and even community clean-ups. Joining one is a great way to meet experienced riders, learn tips and tricks, and get access to gear or boats if you’re just starting out.
Pro Tip: Ask our team at PullPro Shop about clubs in your area—we’re connected with some of the best.
Keep an eye on local events like gear demos, wake surf competitions, lake festivals, or rail jams. These events are often free to attend, family-friendly, and packed with stoke. Not only will you see what’s new in gear and style, but you'll also meet people who share your passion and push the sport forward.
Event Alert: Follow us on Instagram and check in-store for updates on demo days and regional events hosted or sponsored by Pull Pro.
One of the best ways to accelerate your skills and meet people is through a clinic or private lesson. Whether it’s your first time trying a sport or you're dialing in your next spin, coaches and guides are often the nucleus of the local scene. You’ll get pro tips, encouragement, and often get looped into a network of other riders.
Need a coach? We can connect you with certified instructors in wakeboarding, foil riding, and more.
Buying your gear from local shops like PullPro does more than just support small business—it keeps you connected. Our team is deeply involved in the lake life culture, and when you walk in the door, you're not just another customer. You’re a part of the crew. Plus, you’ll hear about boat days, new gear drops, and insider news before anyone else.
Bonus: We often host gear talks, community BBQs, and discount days for those in the know.
Nothing builds a community like giving back. Offer to spot for someone learning to wakeboard. Help clean up your local lake. Offer advice on setting up a beginner’s board. By sharing what you’ve learned, you help grow the sport—and chances are, you’ll gain some lifelong riding buddies along the way.
At Pull Pro Shop, our mission is to make watersports accessible, exciting, and community-driven. Whether you're brand new or looking to level up, there’s a crew waiting for you—and we’re here to help you find it.
Stop by the shop, call us, or follow us online to get involved. See you on the water.
