North Lake Tahoe wakesurf and boat charters — wake surfing, wakeboarding, foil boarding, private lessons, captained boat rentals, culinary lake days and scenic tours on the clearest water in the Sierra. Family owned by Lake Tahoe locals. It's all about the stoke.
From luxury Lake Tahoe tours and wakesurf and wakeboard expeditions to foiling lessons, tubing for the kids, and anchoring in secluded East Shore coves — our boat and crew are fully equipped to make it the perfect day on the water.
Three hours of dawn-patrol surf. First boat on the lake, empty water, straight into it — no crowds, no waiting.
Let's build an adventurous lake day where the options are abundant. Surfing, foiling, catered beach meals, must-see landmarks, guided paddle boarding, foil clinics and family tubing. Great for larger groups, up to 6 surfers.
As the day comes to an end, close it out with a magical sunset charter. Breathtaking sunsets, amazing views, fun surf, and spectacular service. Great for 1–3 surfers.
One-on-one coaching tailored to your skill level. Beginner to advanced — improve your technique with our experienced instructors and take it to the next level.
Our team comes from a gourmet culinary and catering background. Personalized, immersive dining on the lake. If you can imagine it, we can create it.
Explore the east shore's pristine coves and boulders — spots you can't reach by boat. A bucket-list look at why they call this the Caribbean of the Sierras.
Tubing for the kids, photoshoots, athlete training, corporate events, wedding parties. Contact us to curate your perfect charter.
Anchor in the hidden coves and crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe's East Shore — Sand Harbor, Hidden Beach, Secret Cove and Thunderbird Lodge. Swim, surf, foil, or simply soak in some of the most beautiful water on earth.
One flat rate for every experience — surf, foil, cruise, or all three. Two hour minimum. Everything is included, and there's no surcharge for booking online.
We run a 2021 Super Air Nautique G23 — the boat that set the standard for wakesurf. Its NSS surf system carves a long, clean, endless wave and dials in to any rider, from a first-timer finding their feet to an advanced surfer or foiler dropping the rope.
Always here to answer your questions and help you create an experience you'll never forget.
Shawn has over 10 years of experience on Lake Tahoe and specializes in immersive experiences for every guest — from wakesurf and foil lessons to paddle boarding excursions, photoshoots and professional athlete training. He's also a private chef, which is what truly sets Surf Incline apart: we can cater gourmet meals right on the boat.
A professional foiler sponsored by Slingshot and a lifelong board-sports enthusiast, Ozzie is our lead wakesurf and foiling coach. Whether you're learning to surf, getting up on a foil for the first time, or mastering airs behind the boat, there's no better coach on Lake Tahoe.
Our signature all-day experience — surf, golf, sunset, and a chef-prepared feast. A full Lake Tahoe day, start to finish, nothing left to plan.
