What Our Customers Are Saying
Fun on The Lake For Over 15 Years
“Wes was an excellent instructor and extremely patient. I learned how to wake board for the first time in one hour. Beautiful boat, one of the best memories of my trip to Lake Placid for sure!”
Mary Jo MurrayClient
“We had a great time wakeboarding, wakesurfing, and tubing with Wes in August 2020 during our family vacation. Wes and his assistant operator were amazing instructors. His boat is impeccable and Lake Placid is amazing. Wes was a pleasure to deal with and a true professional that operates a safe business designed to teach beginners how to have fun on the water.”
Rick Schilling
“What a great morning wake boarding and water skiing! These guys are the best! Our four boys (12, 14, 16, 18) had never tried these water sports before and the instruction and professionalism was top notch. Our boys were up and going in no time thanks to the knowledge, patience and experience of ADK Aquatics. (Wes and Jeremy) Great instruction. We highly recommend them!”
