Skywake

I had never tried wakeboarding before and a few weeks ago a group of friends and I hired a boat and went sailing on one of the most gorgeous days I’ve witnessed in Hong Kong. Wakeboarding was one of the fun activities that we had planned. I was giving it a go; I was excited and could feel adrenaline already running through my veins as we got on the boat in the morning. A few minutes later and deep into the sea, Dewey was there with his small boat and onto to it 6 of us went. We were around 12 so we split in two groups.
A friend of mine who’s already experienced tried first and we all took pictures and videos, cheering and shouting in amazement. I was secretly scared; I thought wasn’t going to be able to stand! However, once my friend was done, I was up and Dewey, with a TON of patience, showed me how to do it. He first indicated the right body position and movement from the start so that when I had to stand up it was just a matter of that, standing up, and I wouldn’t lose equilibrium and keep my balance easily. And after three tries, there I was, standing and enjoying (and showing off, why not!) my wakeboarding skills. My session lasted for about 20 minutes. There were about 4 of us in the boat who had never ever tried and with each of them Dewey went through the teaching in detail. He’s an excellent coach for both pros and beginners; he’s got a ton of experience, a passion for what he does, a great boat and equipment and he’s so much fun! For the guys who stayed in the boat while others practiced he kept the party on, playing music, telling stories… the hour just went by too quickly and when we least expected, time was up and it was the second’s group turn.
He charges on average more than other wakeboarding services in Hong Kong, but it’s worth it. Whether you want to learn or improve, he’s just the guy.
