It was my first time ever on a board. It took awhile for me to get used to the new movement. Jamie was very patient and a great coach. I went back for a second lesson on the next day just for the satisfaction of being able to ride. I am now hooked on wakeboarding and can't wait to get... More

Hi, I did the wakeboard today. It was 1200 Baht for 15 min. But with all the introduction and training it was around 45min in total! And that was a lot! Dont be scared of the 15min. It enough fun for just 1200 Baht!! The guy is really nice and explain it really good! I will do it again!

I'm from Canada and we wakeboard a lot back home. We had a really fun hour out on the water with Jamie. His Mastercraft was down so unfortunately, we weren't able to wake surf at all but we had some good laps around behind his Yamaha outboard. The bay is pretty flat for the ocean and the scenery is perfect.

My partner and I first visited Wake Up! in 2011, and have been back 4 different times since! Situated in the picturesque surroundings of Chaloklum bay, there is no better place in the world to wakeboard! Jamie is an incredible instructor, he is both professional and friendly, which is comforting if you are relatively new at the sport. His local... More

Had a really great experience wakeboarding with Jamie. Both location and tuition were excellent, and I made a lot of progress in the two weeks I was there. It was my first time wakeboarding in the sea and it was nice wakeboarding in warm water ,compared with the UK! Thanks a lot see you next year. Blue

Jamie was a fantastic instructor and driver - both my friend and I were able to get up on our boards in a few tries and within 10 minutes, we were pros. The water at Chaloklum Bay was clear, warm and calm... all in all a beautiful setting. The price was pretty reasonable and I would definitely recommend wakeboarding with... More
