Double Up Is Built Differently.
Born from riders who wanted to do things their own way, Double Up helped shape an era of wakeboarding that was driven by progression, creativity, and community.
The Double Up Experience Tour brings that spirit back to the places where wakeboarding actually lives.
The lakes | The local crews | The shops that have supported the sport for years.
This isn’t about putting on a show. It’s about getting on the water, riding together, testing new gear, sharing ideas, and connecting with the next generation of riders who will shape what comes next.
The original Double Up Tour was built on a simple belief: Wakeboarding grows from the dock out, Not from a boardroom, Not from a trade show floor, From the people who ride.
That belief still drives everything we do.
Are you experienced? See you on the lake.
Experience Tour Log #06. Texas, USA. (Part 1)
The Experience Tour rolled into Texas for another hot one, linking up with the crew at Buxton Marine before making our way to Hydrous Wake Park.
The temperatures were high, but so was the level of riding. From heavy sets behind the boat to laps at the park, Texas delivered a stacked stop with plenty of progression, insane riding and, most importantly, a crew of people stoked to be on the water.That's what continues to make every stop on this tour different. New locations, new riders and new ways to experience wakeboarding, all connected by the same energy.
A huge thanks to Buxton Marine, Hydrous Wake Park and everyone who came out, rode with us and made the Texas stop one to remember.
The road keeps moving. Subscribe and follow along to see where the Experience Tour takes us next.

Experience Tour Log #05. Nine Marina, Eufaula, Oklahoma, USA.
After picking up Daniel Johnson at the end of our last stop, we headed west to Nine Marina in Eufaula, Oklahoma, for another chapter of the Experience Tour.
This stop was all about getting new people on the water. From first-time riders getting up behind the boat to others landing new tricks, it was one of those days that reminded us why we started this tour in the first place. Between helping riders progress, we managed to sneak in a few sets ourselves and enjoy everything Oklahoma had to offer.
Every stop is different, but the goal stays the same—bringing people together through wakeboarding and growing the sport one set at a time.
A huge thanks to everyone who came out to ride with us at Nine Marina. Your energy keeps this tour rolling.

Experience Tour Log #04. Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, USA.
The road led us to Lake of the Ozarks, where Hayden Berg joined the Experience Tour alongside Kai Ditsch for the next stretch of the journey.
We spent the day doing what the Tour is built around—getting on the water, riding with locals and putting boards under people's feet. No schedule to stick to. No big production. Just another stop with another wakeboarding community.
Before long it was back on the road to collect Daniel Johnson ahead of the remaining stops of the second USA leg. Every stop adds another chapter. New riders. New lakes. New perspectives. That's what the Experience Tour is all about.
A huge thanks to Wake Effects by Big Thunder for the hospitality, support and helping make another stop possible.

Experience Tour Log #03. Wisconsin to Minnesota, USA.
Sometimes the best stops aren't on the schedule.
On the way out of Wisconsin we made an unplanned detour to The Compound, making the most of the opportunity before continuing west into Minnesota. From there we linked up with BuyWake and Midwest Watersports to spend more time on the water with the local scene.
Every stop brings different riders, different conditions and different places to ride, but that's exactly what the Experience Tour is built around. No set formula. No big production. Just getting on the water with the people who keep wakeboarding moving every day.
Thanks to everyone who rode with us and welcomed us into your local scene.

The road keeps moving. New lakes, new crews, new ideas and another chapter in the Double Up Experience Tour. One stop at a time we're reconnecting with wakeboarding where it has always been strongest—through the people who ride it.

Experience Tour Log #02 | Illinois to Wisconsin, USA.
We picked up Kai Ditsch and headed straight to West Rock Wake Park. Cold, wet and raining all day, but we came to ride and that's exactly what we did.
From there we made our way to Lake Geneva for a day on the water with The Board Shop crew, hosted by The Boat House. Every stop is another chance to ride with local crews, spend time with the dealers backing wakeboarding and experience each scene the way it already exists.
That's what the Double Up Experience Tour has always been. We go where wakeboarding lives. Local lakes, local crews and the people keeping it moving. We ride together, test product, film, share ideas and leave every stop stronger than we found it.

EXPERIENCE TOUR LOG #01. Michigan, USA.
The Double Up Experience Tour is officially underway. Our first stops took us to Reed Lake, Grand Rapids with Action watersports before heading to Action Wakepark, Hudsonville
A few days of riding, product testing, filming and spending time with the local scene. Big thanks to everyone who came out, rode with us and shared what wakeboarding looks like in their corner of the world. This is exactly where the Tour belongs.
The Experience Tour has always been about showing up where wakeboarding already exists. Local lakes, local crews and the dealers who keep the scene moving. That was the idea behind the original Tour, and it’s still what drives it today.
