July 16–18 | 📍 Crosstimbers Marina | Sperry, OK
At 918 Boats, we’re all about family, fun, and lake life—and this July, we’re bringing it all together for something bigger than boats. We’re teaming up once again with Operation Wakesurf, Freedom Surf, and a crew of incredible partners to host three unforgettable days for our nation’s heroes, current soldiers, veterans, and first responders.
From wakeboarding behind world-class boats to sharing stories dockside, this is a weekend of healing, connection, and pure joy. If you’re looking for a way to give back—or want to see how lake life changes lives—this is the event to watch.
3 Days. 30 Heroes. One Powerful Mission.
Operation Wakesurf 2025 is all about impact. We’re setting out to get 10 heroes on the water each day, honoring soldiers, veterans, and first responders with a day of freedom, adrenaline, and all the best parts of lake living.
This event isn’t just a good time, it’s a chance for our heroes to reconnect, reset, and ride in style behind some of the most cutting-edge wakeboard and surf boats on the water.
