Jamie Taylor
(Founder, Boat Captain, Coach & everything between)

Est. this project in 2017. My passion is sharing the things I love to do with others and helping people succeed along the way. I love everything there is to do behind a boat “A jack of all is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”. I also enjoy watching people build new skills/confidence that will last a lifetime. This is not possible with out a good team, check them out below.

Paddy Malone
(Coach)

My name is Paddy and I’m 18. I was born in San Francisco but recently moved to Truckee to spend more time in the amazing mountains and lakes! I have a passion for all board sports, water or snow. I have been wakeboarding and wake surfing for over 6 years now, mostly with the Team at Truckee Water Sports. In the winter I am a Sugar Bowl Snowboard Freeride Team member and I like to spend all my weekends on the snow. In the summer my passion is being on the water with a board beneath my feet either getting air time or surfing the wake! I’m really looking forward to sharing my tips and tricks with you out on the water this Summer.
