Amanda Dowd

Amanda Dowd moved to the Florida Panhandle with her husband at the end of 2018. They love it there, and now NW Florida is definitely home to them for good. In the summer of 2021, her husband bought a wake boat so they could have a new hobby together. They ended up falling in love with wakesurfing, and have been all about it ever since. Now the lake with with her husband and friends is her absolute favorite place on Earth to be.

WESTON KORITKO

Born and raised in New Milford, Connecticut, I now call Orlando, Florida home. I grew up on a lake, and from a young age, I was always drawn to the water. But it wasn’t until I landed my first shuvit at 16 that wakesurfing truly became more than just a passion it became a lifestyle. What started as a hobby has evolved into something much bigger. These days, I spend most of my time buying and selling boats, and making the most of every opportunity to be out on the lake or ocean. For me, it’s all about the experience early mornings on glassy water, good music, and even better company. Whether I’m behind the wheel or behind the boat, there’s nothing better than being out there with friends and family, doing what we love the most.
