Participants will be able to customize filling, ingredients, and seasonings according to their taste or dietary preferences. Join in the fun as we dive into the world of spring rolls!

Fly through the air on the newest thing to do behind a boat! Very much like wakesurfing, wakefoiling will challenge your balance and reward you with an absolutely magical experience. Instead of surfing along on the surface of the water, your goal is to "get on foil" which means you are actually gliding along on the wing of the board while you and the board hover 3 to 48 inches above the surface. Flying along on foil is exhilarating! Everything you need is included.
