Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had the time of my life with Wakesurf Chicago today. Marco coached each and every person on the boat (of various skill levels ) to get up onto the board and into the wave. If you think you can’t do it THINK AGAIN and give it a try.

Loved our time on the lake. Great company, very helpful in teaching and guiding two new wake surfers. Great tips in helping a newer wake surfer improve his ability. Professional, knowledgeable, respectful, would recommend them to anyone, wanting to learn, improve or just have a fun time out on the water.

I’ve been out on the lake with Wakesurf Chicago a few times, and every time has been a blast!
There are no words to describe being the only ones on the lake early in the morning, surfing on an endless wave with the skyline in the backdrop. They also upgraded their boat this year, which is an added plus!
Marco is always patient and encouraging, and gives good pointers. I’ve seen quite a few people learn and get up onto the wave for the first time!

This company delivers with a badass boat and a cool captain who knows the best spots and makes everyone feel like a pro. The boat is state-of-the-art, ensuring perfect wakes, and the captain’s vibe makes every trip electric. Great music, a friendly crew, and personalized sessions elevate the experience. Whether you're new to wakesurfing or a seasoned rider, this is the place to make unforgettable memories on the water. Highly recommend!

Looking for one of the best experiences Chicago has to offer? Marco and his team from Wakesurf Chicago wildly exceeded my expectations and gave me some of my favorite Chicago memories. It was so cool to see people at different skill levels all enjoy the sport...not to mention the incredible views on Chicago's lakefront!

Joined as a solo on a drop in session with Marco and had a blast! Marco is patient, supportive and a great teacher, his tips were on point and improved my riding technique!
The boat was new, clean and generated amazing waves to surf on! Riding on the lake with the amazing views of Chicago is one of the best feelings!
Highly recommend everyone to give it a try if you are thinking about it!

Love it! Love it! Love it!
Today my friends and I opened our second season with Wakesurf Chicago. My best recommendations to everyone for trying it out. Last year we had a really big waves on the Lake Michigan so they brought the boat all the way to lake Geneva, WI so we don’t have to cancel the session. Much appreciate their business and always love to come back))

Such an amazing experience for our entire family! We had surfers, and those of us who just love to watch and cheer on! It was my nephews first boat ride (18 month old) and there were nothing but smiles and joy!
Marco’s instructions and patience are stellar! 2 first timers got up and actually surfed! He has all the equipment you just show up and surf!
The city back drop is an added bonus! I’ve been on a lot of boats, and locations, nothing is better the Chicago skyline backdrop!
This is a must try!!! An unmatched experience!
And the boat…. Just WOW! Luxurious, spacious, smooth, and the system ROCKS!
