Wakeboarding has a new home. Instead of California, which is the epicenter of most water sports, Orlando, has become a new home to wakeboarding according to a recent article from the Orlando Sentinel. Wakeboarders need lakes, not coasts, and Orlando can provide that, along with great weather and accessibility year round. Cobe Mikacich of Wakeboard Orlando (an instructor, and previous professional wakeboarder) says "once your in Orlando, you're already a better rider... if you're a top competitor you spend most of your time here." So, in the near future, Orlando may not be full of Mickey-crazed tourists, but instead of lake-searching wakeboarders craving the weather and accessibility of Florida's 544 lakes.
