Education that protects access

Ride smart.
Share the lake.

Responsible wake sports start with good judgment, safe operation, and respect for every person and place that shares the water.

A culture of care

Every thoughtful choice on the water helps protect Maine’s lakes, strengthen relationships with lake communities, and preserve wake sports for the next generation.

Before you ride.

01 / PREPARE

Know your water.

Review local rules, navigation markers, hazards, weather, and traffic before leaving the dock.

02 / OPERATE

Stay sober. Stay alert.

Use a capable, attentive operator and spotter. Keep the crew ready, seated safely, and equipped for the conditions.

03 / RESPECT

Give people room.

Choose open water, slow down around others, and avoid repeated passes near shorelines, docks, swimmers, paddlers, or anglers.

Good riders create good lake culture.

Help MWSC share practical education and bring riders and lake communities into the same conversation.
