Our Coaches

"Went out with Cobe and the dogs for the first time today, and WOW, this place is absolutely awesome! Cobe and Tarah are so down to earth, supportive and great to work with - Freedom Wake Park is simply the best!" - David Netzley

"I did the 3 day camp “The Tarah and Cobe Experience” and couldn’t be more pleased. 

I feel so much more comfortable on the surf board than before. I can now do 360s!

Cobe, Zooks, and Tarah are amazing instructors. The only thing better than their instructions is their personality. 

Their dogs Shaka and Brumos are awesome. 

If you’re looking to improve your Wakesurfing and/or wakeboarding this is where you need to go."  - Danny Patrick

"Great time and great instructors! Can’t wait to come back again!" - Les & Shelley Griffin

"Freedom wake park is absolutely amazing! Coach Tarah and Cobe are the greatest! Me and my boyfriend have stayed over at their wakeboard camp for a week and had so much fun and got lots of help with new and old tricks. This was our second year and we can't wait to come back and stay with them again! Not only are they great coaches they are incredible people who we consider friends! I highly recommend checking it out even if it's just for a fun day of surfing or wakeboarding I bet you'll love it just as much as we do every time we get the chance to come." - Becca Mercier

"What a fantastic day my family had! Thank you so much for the patience, professionalism, coaching, and most of all fun fun fun! Thank you very much Tarah, Daniel, and Ryan! We'll be back." - Jay Roney

"Cobe and his team were amazing spending the day with many kids with prosthetics and other learning abilities. They all had the biggest smiles and wanted to know when they could come back to Freedom Wake Park! You truly made some lasting memories for them all. Thank you all for your support, loyalty and commitment." - Annette Belleville

"I went to Orlando from Wa State.  Had no idea who to contact.  I'm 58year old, female and a novice boarder.  Got set up with Tarah and Coby via email/text and what a treasure they turned out to be.  No skill level too minimal.  None of my friends would wake board but I love it- however, I have never had a lesson before.  I took 2 lessons a week apart.  I learned so much.  I may have to return to Orlando just to take another lesson.  I met Zuki too.  All of them, wonderful wonderful wonderful kind people.  It was a first-in-my-life treat to myself and well worth the money.  Money buys someone's time, but their kind hearts come with the package as a bonus.

Hugs from Carla in Spokane" - Carla Layton

"Tarah and Cobe (as well as Brunos and Shaka!) have a brilliant set up and fantastic coaching!" - Roger Clements

"Best School, Best Coaches, I have no worries about sending my two teenagers out to spend time with Cobe and Tarah. They really are the BEST!!!" - Jason Christensen

Best experience ever. The Mikker family is the best. Always fun to ride with Cobe and Tarah. Landed many new tricks and improved my riding. Wish I was back there every day. Recommend it a 100% - Gerardo Mora

"By stroke of luck or divine intervention, my family was introduced to Tarah and Cobe while we were visiting Florida on a Make a Wish trip. Having previously lived in central Florida, we were very familiar with another wakeboarding park in the area, but this was our 1st visit to Freedom. I could not believe the phenomenal personal attention and coaching my kids received. We were immediately welcomed and treated like old friends...and grew to learn that we actually had a number of mutual friends with Tarah and Cobe. Tarah was fantastic with our kids, from our 5 year old going for her first time to our 13 year old who had been wakeboarding several times. If you're looking for true instruction with a personal touch, I highly recommend Freedom."  - Jesse Bogart

This place is awesome! I had a business trip to Orlando and Cobe was able to fit me into their schedule to accommodate my schedule (Thank you)! As a 44 year old, new wake surfer, I was self taught via YouTube and friends. In one lesson, I learned what I have been doing wrong. As I was working on proper position on the board during the lesson, I felt myself getting better! I'm wicked stoked! I can't wait to go back!" - Jason Rozneck

"Awesome coaches! I highly recommend.

They were fun with the entire family and had improved our surfing skills within minutes!" - Leigh Lonson

"Absolutely loved it. Cobe and Tarah where amazing and so helpful. Thanks you so much. Tarah taught me to do a 180. Amazing!!!" - Amy Jo Johnson

"Incredible experience! We are a family of 3 recreational riders who wanted to crash with less grandeur and reach new goals. We spent 3 days with Cobe, Tarah, and their crew at Freedom. Words cannot express our gratitude. We have such respect for the professionalism, patience and dedication that they showed us. Great eye for detail and ability to communicate. Can't wait to get back on the water and apply what they have taught us" - Cynthia Wiseman
