About ADK Aquatics
ADK Aquatics is a private watersports instruction company operating on Lake Placid, specializing in wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakesurfing, and tubing. Founded by Captain Zach, the business runs out of a dedicated tow boat and provides one-on-one coaching for riders of all skill levels, from first-timers to advanced athletes looking to dial in tricks.
Sessions are booked privately, meaning your group gets the full attention of the captain and the entire boat for the duration of the outing. Equipment is included — boards, skis, ropes, life jackets, and towables are all provided. They also offer scenic private boat tours of Lake Placid for groups that want a more relaxed experience on the water without the adrenaline component.
ADK Aquatics has built a strong reputation through word-of-mouth and repeat bookings. Their patient, step-by-step instruction style makes them especially popular with families and beginners who've never been behind a boat before. The private format means no waiting for turns, no strangers on your boat, and a schedule that works around your vacation.
