WHO ARE WE?

Birkholm’s Water Ski School is a small family run business operated out of the Tahoe Keys Marina on the spectacular south shore of Lake Tahoe. We offer pickups anywhere on the lake where pickup is available. We specialize in children and family lessons. We charge by time, not by the person. All appointments are private and reserved for your family or group only. Everything is included in the scheduled appointments: boats, drivers, instructors, wet suits, life jackets ,skis / boards / tubes, even the fuel. There are no surprise charges.

DO YOU TEACH KIDS?

We Specialize in children and family lessons / charters. We can teach 2 people how to water ski / wakeboard in 1 hour with in the water instruction. In the water instruction puts the instructor in the water right next to the student to see exactly what he or she may be doing right or wrong, and let them know immediately. We believe this is an easier and quicker way of learning how to water ski and wakeboard. This teaching process ensures a successful water skiing and wakeboarding experience and progression. This technique is especially beneficial when teaching young children. It provides children, young and old with a sense of confidence and stability needed for a successful and memorable water ski / wakeboard experience. With our quality instruction, equipment, and boats we are confident your experience with us will be memorable and rewarding.

Testimonials

Our family of 4, with two kids ages 7 and 12, had such a great morning learning to water ski with Eric. All the equipment and expertise instruction we needed was provided in the most friendly, relaxed and efficient way — we all got a chance to be on the water (skiing and water tubing) and get a great first-timer’s experience. Just enough to leave us wanting to come back and learn even more next time. “Really, really, really fun…and nice people!” is the littlest one’s review. We agree — thanks for the experience and encouragement, coach Eric!.

I was up in Tahoe last week with 3 kids. Our family has never tried waterskiing before. I scheduled a 1 hour lesson with Eric and Jim. The kids had a blast! All three of them were able to get up on their skis (for short periods at least) with Jim’s help. That man is incredibly patient. Thank you for giving them great memories! I highly recommend this business to anyone thinking of learning to water ski!

We had 4 kids ages 9, 12, 13 and 15 who had never water skied before. Eric and Brendan got all four of them up and skiing. They had a BLAST! WE went into this blind not knowing any operators or reading any reviews. All I can say is we hit the jackpot. They were professional and very patient with the kids. We are already looking forward to doing it again next year.
