Coming soon, more info on local watersports.
Watersports and all things WAKE are a part of life on Smith Lake! Our founders are avid watersports enthusiasts who do it all––wakeboarding, wakesurfing, wakeskating, waterskiing, slalom, kneeboarding, barefooting, hydrofoiling, wakefoiling, e-foiling, tubing, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), etc. Chances are if it can be done while being pulled by a rope behind the boat, they have at least tried it. Thankfully they live in a large community where this seems to be the norm. Smith Lake is a gold mine for watersports of every kind.
Local Watersports Shops
Lakeside Gear
There are many local shops to purchase professional level watersports equipment or even rent the equipment if you just want to give it a try before investing in your own gear. Obviously we recommend our local shop @lakesidegear to get you started. We currently sell products by these brands: Ronix, Radar, Slingshot, Walker Surfboards, and Phase 5 Wakesurfers. We special order merchandise to be dropshipped as desired or even hand delivered to your door after full assembly, but we do have a small inventory at the shop as well as some rentals. Check out our rental and marketplace pages for more information on other local shops.
We also offer day trips for beginning lessons on nearly any type equipment you'd like to try, and we have access to any level of coaching you need for your level of expertise. We'll make sure you get the proper coaching to progress to the next level, and we can help guide you to competitions that will help you develop a network of fellowship with other people in your sport.

MasterPro Audio
Our company boat is built for both wakesurfing and wakeboarding, but we also love to hydrofoil and wakefoil and so many other watersports. We even grab a tube sometimes late in the day just to have fun and unwind. Our audio shop @masterproaudio offers only professional level marine audio design/build/install. We forewarn you, our show system is VERY loud, but it is also super clear & clean, and very enjoyable, built for only the most discerning audiophiles. We utilize custom patent-pending speakers designed by our parent company Acoustic Artistry LLC, and the sound is engineered specifically to project out of the boat into the path of a skier, so sound does not overwhelm the cockpit area. We have been told you can hear music from our boat for a mile down the lake. Well, no matter what, you won't soon forget a day of music on our boat, and you'll be able to enjoy dance level sound while skiing at any distance behind the boat. The sound will definitely lift your spirits, fire you up and get you ready to enjoy watersports on a different level all day!
Never hesitate to reach out to us about local watersports. We're here to help you have the best Smith Lake experience possible. Call us any time at 205-470-8250.
Watch soon for an update to feature more wakesports info: local riders, boats, marinas and pro shops. If you would like your favorite shop, products or riders featured, just contact us!
