LearnWake - The future of wake instruction is now...
In 2004 The Book DVD series revolutionized instructional content for the wakeboarding industry. Never before had an wakeboard instructional DVD series been so vast and detailed. One testament to the series could be that it has been the best-selling wakeboard DVD each of the first 3 years of it's release. Another testament could be the fact that at least 4 different wakeboard DVD instructionals were released the 3 years prior to The Book's release, and none have been released in the 3 years following.
Fast forward to 2008... The guys that created The Book, have branched off and started a new project...LearnWake.com. The goal has always been to give the best instructional experience to wakeboards. Now with the internet evolving, the time has never been better for us to switch to the interactive web-medium from the DVD medium. Simply put, LearnWake will revolutionize wake instruction. Unlike DVD's, LearnWake is interactive. If you have a question, you can ask one of our professional coaches on our bulletin board, or live in one of our chat rooms. Other features of the website include pages of wakeboard instructional documentation called "The Library," high-definition videos, and games. Check out the feature list below for more details.
LearnWake is a premium subscription-based website. Members have to pay a fee to access the website's protected areas. Subscriptions are most commonly sold under two different options...monthly or annual.
