Camp Instructors
Our coaches are not only accomplished tournament wakeboarders, but also have collectively over 25 years professional coaching experience. Gordy, Austin Noring, Kyle Frendewey, and James Feid stress teaching the fundamental concepts of wakeboarding so that you will be able to progress faster, easier, and with less falls.
Gordy Bubolz
I can’t believe I’ve been riding for 17 years now. During that time I’ve made so many lifelong friends, and shared in experiences that will always be with me. Some Competitive wakeboarding highlights include:
Many thanks to my sponsors, Correct Craft, Fort Fremont Marine, Hyperlite, Fly High/Fat Sac, Ten- 80, Smith Optics, and Bern Helmets.
Riding in tournaments has given me a lot of great memories, but I think it is so much more rewarding to teach someone a new trick or skill, and share in their enthusiasm and love for the sport. I make it a point to teach the building blocks of the sport, so that you can excel much faster.
Austin Noring
This will be Austin’s 8th season as a coach at GBWC. He is an amazing free rider, and always impresses me and everyone else in the boat with how easy he can pick up a new difficult trick like a Pete Rose, or Blind 5. In the winter months Austin lives in Breckenridge Colorado and is a professional snowboarder for Burton, Quicksilver, Moda 3, Anon, Sector 9, and Fort Fremont Marine. He’s also been on television many times with top 3 finishes in the Snowboard Grand Prix Events. Check out www.austinnoring.com
Kyle Frendewey
This will be Kyle’s Third year as a professional coach with us at camp. He is an up-and-coming rider from up in da U.P. eh… oh, sorry that’s Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Kyle has a natural ability for teaching wakeboarding, and is an amazing rider with a ton of potential. Kyle was a long time student at the camp, and has been wakeboarding for over seven years, and coaching for the past two seasons. In 2005 he placed 2nd in the AWA Nationals Open Men Division in Florida. He also had a great summer last year competing locally at several grassroots competitions throughout the state and getting the podium at every one in the Outlaw Division. Kyle is sponsored by O’Brien.
Joey
Joey is an up and coming Tournament Rider from Southern Wisconsin, and a full time coach at camp. Joey attends UW Milwaukee majoring in biochemistry with a minor in Spanish. He’s also an EMT/Firefighter for the Richfield volunteer fire dept. In motocross, he qualified for the Loretta Lynn’s Regional race in the B class and qualified for the Amateur Arena-cross World Finals in Las Vegas taking 13th in Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena. Joey rides for Osiris Shoes, Dunlop Tires, Dubach Racing Development, MGX Unlimited Graphics, Gaerne Boots, Six Six One, Freestyle, and Spy.
Rhonda
Rhonda is the one you will talk to when making your reservation and who you will see when registering Sunday for camp. Rhonda has a big part of the camp experience. She strives at making the main cabin inviting when the hungry students come in for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Rhonda not only juggles the reservations, and helps with cooking. She is also the mother of our three beautiful children, Anna 7, Kaitlyn 6, and Gordon 1year. Rhonda has a gift of serving and loves being around the students, and hearing about the progress they are making while attending GBWC.
Kay (Mom) & Linda (Rhonda’s mom)
Our mother’s are amazing. They make running camp during the busy times a little less stressful and easy. They graciously help by watching our beautiful children, so Rhonda and I can care for the students attending camp. Our kids love coming down to the main cabin for lunch and dinner time as a family. We are truly blessed to have two wonderful mothers in our lives.
Allen (Dad) & Roy (Rhonda's Dad)
Both Allen and Roy tag team at fixing whatever needs taking care of. I don’t know what we would do without them!
