Kirby School of Wake
At Performance Marine Watersports, we are committed to providing the ultimate experience on the Lake of the Ozarks. That commitment extends far beyond the sale of a world-class Supra, Moomba, or MasterCraft boat. It means ensuring our customers and the entire LOZ community have access to the best instruction available to fully enjoy the incredible wakes and waves our boats create.
That is why we proudly partner with Kirby's School of Wake, led by professional wakeboarder and certified coach, Kirby Liesmann. This collaboration brings together the highest quality equipment with the most effective, personalized coaching in Missouri, guaranteeing you and your family will progress faster, ride safer, and have more fun on the water.
