(February 19, 2026) Merced, CA–For more than 20 years, WakeWell has existed to share the love of God within the culture of wake. Built on relationships and authenticity, WakeWell meets riders, families, and fans right where they are which is on the water.
“Our vision is to see the entire wake culture transformed by the love of Jesus,” said Mark, WakeWell’s National Director. “And that happens through relationships, being present in the community and walking with people where they are.”
Today, WakeWell supports 23 chapters across the U.S. and internationally, each uniquely shaped by its local wake community. There is no cookie-cutter model. “Every chapter looks different,” said Dustin, WakeWell National Coordinator. “We want to fully empower leaders to lead in the way that best serves their lake and their people.”
WakeWell’s growing presence in wake surfing has been especially evident at events like the Centurion World Wake Surfing Championship. Throughout the World Series of Wake Surfing season and at Worlds, WakeWell created opportunities for prayer through WakeChurch gatherings, and meaningful conversations, meeting the wake surf community in a space where connection already runs deep.
“What excites us about partnering with Centurion is the shared culture,” Mark said. “There’s a like-mindedness in valuing faith, people, and community. If someone can be prayed for, attend WakeChurch, or simply feel welcomed, that’s a win.”
For Dustin, the impact is personal. “Being at these contests and serving the community is what drives me,” he shared. “The more people who come to know Jesus, the more motivated we are and it all starts with showing up.”
