Rail Yard Wake Park opened in 2013 headed up by Ian, Ross and Christine, long-time residents of East Gwillimbury and local business people who have a passion for water sports.

The company’s goal is to give everyone an opportunity to participate in board sports. You can learn, practice and improve your skills on either one of our 2 Sesitec System 2.0 straight-line cables. The beauty of having two cables is less wait times and plenty of water features for all levels. (They recommend calling ahead to book your time).

The cable system provides a safe, exciting, and inexpensive way to get more people involved in the board sports community. It also eliminates the need for a boat. The straight-line cable is by far the simplest and easiest way to learn to wakeboard. The upward pull enables effortless starts and has proven to provide the easiest learning curve for beginners with the assistance of our certified instructors. It also allows for more experienced riders to practice on water features and air tricks. Falling at the park is no big deal. A press of a button and the rider has the handle and is ready to go in no time. Having an operator/instructor along side you allows for one-on-one instruction.

The cable is not limited to just wakeboarding. Rail Yard offers wake skating, wake skiing and kneeboarding too. All the equipment needed is available for rent if you don’t have your own.

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
