Camp Instructors

Our coaches are not only accomplished tournament wakeboarders, but also have collectively over 25 years professional coaching experience. Gordy, Tim Keepers, Austin Noring, and Austin Lemaster stress on teaching the fundamental concepts of wakeboarding so that you will be able to progress faster, easier, and with less falls.

Gordy Bubolz
I can’t believe I’ve been riding for 16 years now. During that time I’ve made so many lifelong friends, and shared in experiences that will always be with me. Some Competitive wakeboarding highlights include:

  • 2004 AWA Open Men National Champion
  • WWA Men I World Champion
  • 3-time AWA National Champion
  • 4-time Wisconsin State Champion
  • Cover of Wakeboarding Magazine
  • Winner of Wakeboarding Magazine’s Star Search
  • Selected as an athlete competitor for the 2000 USA Wakeboard team
  • Judged over 50 tournaments, including the 2004 IWSF Worlds in Spain

    • Many thanks to my sponsors, Correct Craft, Fort Fremont Marine, Fly High/Fat Sac, 1080, and Bern Helmets.

    Riding in tournaments has given me a lot of great memories, but I think it is so much more rewarding to teach someone a new trick or skill, and share in their enthusiasm and love for the sport. I make it a point to teach the building blocks of the sport, so that you can excel much faster.

     

     

     

    Austin Noring
    This will be Austin’s 7th season as a coach at GBWC. He is an amazing free rider, and always impresses me and everyone else in the boat with how easy he can pick up a new difficult trick like a Pete Rose, or Blind 5. In the winter months Austin lives in Breckenridge Colorado and is a professional snowboarder for Burton, Quicksilver, Moda 3, Anon, Sector 9, and Fort Fremont Marine. He’s also been on television many times with top 3 finishes in the Snowboard Grand Prix Events. Check out www.austinnoring.com

     

     

    Kyle Frendewey
    This will be Kyle’s Second year as a professional coach with us at camp. He is an up-and-coming rider from up in da U.P. eh… oh, sorry that’s Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Kyle has a natural ability for teaching wakeboarding, and is an amazing rider with a ton of potential. Kyle was a long time student at the camp, and has been wakeboarding for over seven years, and coaching for the past two seasons. In 2005 he placed 2nd in the AWA Nationals Open Men Division in Florida. He also had a great summer last year competing locally at several grassroots competitions throughout the state and getting the podium at every one in the Outlaw Division. Kyle is sponsored by CWB.

     

     

     

    James Feid
    James is a current pro tour rider from Southern Wisconsin, and a full time coach at camp. James can rock some of the hardest wakeboard tricks, from Big Worms, Pete’s, and Sevens. He’s got a bright future, and there’s no doubt you’ll be hearing more about him in the Magazine’s and on TV. Some of his tournament highlights include: 2004 AWA National’s 1st place Boys Division, 2007 4th place at a Pro Tour stop in the Jr. Men’s division. He also has several year’s coaching experience teaching wakeboarding to both young kids and adults. James is a factory rider for Liquid Force, O’Neill, and also the rides for The Board Shop.

     

     

     

    Rhonda & Kay
    Rhonda and Kay are usually the persons that you will talk to when you give us a call. They are truly the backbone to the whole operation.

    Allen (Dad) & Roy (Rhonda's Dad)
    Both Allen and Roy tag team at fixing whatever needs taking care of. I don’t know what we would do without them!
