What Work is Required of me as a Member?

You are to volunteer for a variety of tasks and are expected complete as required. For starters, everyone participates in the opening day work party (usually the second weekend in April). On top of this, three other days of volunteer work is an excellent start (such as at clinics, tournaments, etc).

The deposit of $500 will not be cashed if your end of the agreement is satisfactory. The club executive will review each member's efforts at the end of each year and make the decision then. As per all clubs, strong member involvement is required to maintain a happy environment for all.

The club sanctions approximately 5 tournaments per year plus special events, coaching clinics and other charitable functions, all of which volunteers are a necessity.

What is available at the Sumas Site?

The Sumas site is popular with the club's barefooters as it provides excellent glassy water and long runs. You must have your own boat to ski at this location as only a launch is provided.

Can I come try it out before joining? When are Public Days?

We offer "Public Ski Days" every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in July and August. This is an excellent time to come try out the course, learn to get up on one, do some flips on your wakeboard or go for a few footin' runs.
