RIP 'N RIDE

What Is Rip n' Ride?

Rip n' Ride is a skills development program to attract, initiate and retain new participants to towed watersports.

All of the skills learned in the program are aimed at teaching the fundamentals of the sport.
 

The goal of the program is to attract more people to the sport by providing them with the skills to enjoy the sport safely, and to encourage participants to progress their fundamental skills.
