What is a SETx wakeboard session?
A (30), (60) or (90) minute one-on-one time frame where our experienced coaches help you dial in the unique aspects of YOUR personal riding style. We understand that each person is different, so whether you're trying to make your time on the water more enjoyable with family & friends or if you have the goal to be the next professional wakeboarder, we're passionate about passing our experience on to you to help you reach your goals.
What to expect out of your session...
Depending on your skill level, we'll focus on the following aspects of wakeboarding: getting up, edging, body positioning, riding switch, handle control, jumping, grabbing, spinning, flipping, drifting & mobes. With an experienced SETx instructor in the boat you're guaranteed to receive quality feedback where it counts! Our coaches work directly with each individual to determine & understand their goals so we can provide tailored instructions that get RESULTS!

Who are the SETx coaches?
Elliott Dollar (E$)
*Owner/Operator
age: 27
education: BBA: MGMT 2006 (Lamar University: BMT, TX)
experience: 13 yrs. wakeboarding & boat driving; regional competitor for 7 years; USA Waterski Safety & Boat Driver Certified.
status: Man I'm kickin' back, havin' f
un and just RIDIN'! I haven't felt this good in a while, (smilin').
I've wakeboarded with a lot of new people over the past few seasons. I feel fortunate to be involved with so many "first" rides as more and more people learn to ride wakeboards in Southeast Texas.
riding style: I'm definitely a wake-2-wake rider. I like to grab and make tricks feel smooth. Rail riding has become something that is super fun to me.
coaching style: I'm an encourager. I try and accurately gauge a rider's abilities and push accordingly. Most of my riders ride for fun so that's the main reason I'm here. I like to focus on fundamentals (both regular & switch-stance) and challenge the rider's mental game along with their physical performance. I like to establish a routine with clients so they can enjoy regular riding time with someone who: (1) appreciates what's they're trying to do and (2) who cares about their on-the-water success.

Lance Stevens
age: 24
experience: 6 years of wakeboarding; competitive for 5
status: Wakeboarding & wakeskating are simply two things that I love. Whether it's learning a new spin on my wakeboard or trying to land something tech on my skate I just like being on the water. I want to continue pushing myself in wake sports because it's challenging and I enjoy that. I feel like I've come a long way in 4 short years so I'm excited to see what the future holds. Part of that excitement comes along with sharing my experience with new, up & coming riders like
myself. I've coached for a couple seasons now and
I've learned a lot about the instructional process & what it takes
to relay valuable feedback.
riding style: I like to go w2w but some tricks are just meant for the flats.
Joe Nichols
age: 28
education: BBA: MKTG 2006; (Lamar University, BMT, TX)
experience: 11 years of wakeboarding; competitve for 6
status: Wakeboarding is something that I love to do. I spent a year down in Orlando watching & riding next to the pros at OWC so I feel like I have a well-rounded view on the sport itself. To me, there's nothing like a day out on the lake pushing yourself & trying to be a better rider. Everyday is a different day and no session is the same. I work full-time during the week so when I'm out on the water it's really about throwing caution to the wind and going BIG! What can I say, I like to entertain. When you ride with me you can expect 1 of 2 things; either I'm going to land something big or I'm going to CRASH
something big, (sometimes maybe both!)
riding style: I like to ride with a nice mix of w2w moves and big tricks out into the flats. When all else fails, why not go BIG? More than anything I just like to have a good time while watching & helping people learn something new.

What costs are involved with wakeboarding lessons?
At SETx, we have the privilege of offering full instructional services on completely private waters. This controlled learning environment allows riders access to the most optimum conditions for progression. The lake consistently produces calm water and we never have to contend with other boats.
One-on-one, personalized instruction is not cheap. Please understand that wakeboarding is simply an expensive sport and SETx has to cover its costs so we can "keep the doors open". Considering the cost of the lake, top quality Malibu boat, insurance, fuel & the money it takes to attract & maintain experienced instructors, SETx has to charge a minimum of $100/hr just to "float-the-boat" so to speak.
We understand that wakeboarding is expensive. Believe us, we've devoted our lives to it! What's cool is ... SETx is able to offer high quality, affordable options which allows riders to enjoy & learn wakeboarding without having to assume all the FULL TIME associated costs.
Who are our competitors/comrads? What do they charge?
*First of all, we say comrads because we personally know most of the organizations in Texas and we respect & highly recommend each. You'll gain a different perspective from each instructor & sometimes it's good to change it up a bit. Here's a list of Texas instructional organizations & the rates that they are currently charging, we think you'll find SETx to be a competitive option:
Will a SETx instructor travel to your home lake or river to coach?
Yes, we cover most of the territory in Southeast Texas, including but not limited to: The Neches River, Sam Rayburn, San Jacinto, Lake Houston, Trinity River, San Bernard & Lake Conroe. Usually these scenarios require a different approach & amount of effort to coordinate so contact us to discuss the details.
