Camp Instructors

Our coaches are not only accomplished tournament wakeboarders, but also have collectively over 25 years professional coaching experience. Gordy, Austin Noring, and Joey Mueller stress 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 19 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
  • 1997 WWA Men I World Champion
  • 3-time AWA National Champion
  • 4-time Wisconsin State Champion
  • Featured Instructional Columnist for each issue of the Wisconsin Water Skier Magazine.
  • Instructional columnist for Wakeboard Magazine, and The Water Skier Magazine.
  • Cover of Wakeboarding Magazine, June 1997
  • Winner of Wakeboarding Magazine’s Star Search
  • Co Author of 2010 USA Water Ski Level One Instructor Certification Kit
  • 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, Hyperlite, Fly High/Fat Sac, Ten- 80, Smith Optics, 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.

    Megan Blaschka
    Megan is the 2009 WWA Jr. Women's National Champion and now a full time coach at camp. The first time I rode with Megan, I was blown away with how she makes hard tricks look easy, and most of all how much vert she gets off the wake. During the off season she is a student at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She is spot on as a coach... when people are having a tough time learning a new trick Megan has the coaching teqniques to get them past that plateau. Megan is a factory sponsored rider for Liquid Force, and the Board Shop.

     

     










    Rhonda
    Rhonda is the one you will talk to when making your reservation and who you will see when registering Sunday for camp. Rhonda has a big part of the camp experience. She strives at making the main cabin inviting when the hungry students come in for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Rhonda not only juggles the reservations, and helps with cooking. She is also the mother of our four beautiful children, Anna 9, Kaitlyn 7,Gordon 3 and Kirra 1. Rhonda has a gift of serving and loves being around the students, and hearing about the progress they are making while attending GBWC.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Kay (Mom) & Linda (Rhonda’s mom)
    Our mother’s are amazing. They make running camp during the busy times a little less stressful and easy. They graciously help by watching our beautiful children, so Rhonda and I can care for the students attending camp. Our kids love coming down to the main cabin for lunch and dinner time as a family. We are truly blessed to have two wonderful mothers in our lives.

    Both Allen and Roy tag team at fixing whatever needs taking care of. I don’t know what we would do without them!
