No boat? No problem! We had the pleasure of welcoming Sarah Cody from Fox CT News and her film crew out to Lakeside earlier this summer. They filmed a segment for their Emmy Award-Winning feature called Daytrippers. They highlight places that Connecticut residents can travel to-and-from in one day. Whether folks are planning a vacation or a “staycation,” we are honored to make the list of of Day Trip locations. Great job to Sarah who popped back up on the waterskis for the first time in 20+ years. We always say it is just like riding a bike, once you learn, you’ll never forget.

The article that ran in The Hartford Courant was picked up by AllianceWake.com.
Lakeside has been a longtime supporter of Alliance Wakeboard Magazine. Lakeside Watersports is actually listed as the only Wakeboarding Camp and School in CT in the back of their magazine. If you aren’t a subscriber, we would highly recommend it. We are stoked that the editors at Alliance Wakeboard Magazine took some time to write a feature on the Rail Jam that took place at our local Brownstone Wake Park back in May.

For the first time, Lakeside Watersports co-owners, Chris and Mike, were asked to be the guest judges for the Wakeboard Rail Jam that took place over Memorial Day Weekend at Brownstone Exploration Park in Portland, CT. Brownstone staff had the cable and ramps dialed and the local talent did not disappoint. We wanted to give special congratulations to Olivia Pease who one the entire contest with a technically flawless run in the finals. Such a great way to kick off this year’s summer season.

For the third year in a row, we had the privilege of participating in Danbury’s Memorial Day Parade.
We love this event because it gives us a chance to say, “thank you,” to our family members and customers who have served or are currently serving in the military. We appreciate all of the service you have provided for our country.
It was once again a gorgeous day, The News Times even grabbed a photo of Matty while he was “Roller-Skiing” down White Street in Danbury.
