The Coble Family

The Coble family has been an active part of the water skiing world since the 1970s. They have over 70 years of combined coaching experience. Gary Coble coached high school athletics for 18 years prior to becoming April's full time water ski coach.  April went on to win 28 National Titles, the US Masters, and the World Championships! She still competes on the MasterCraft Professional Water Ski tour and coaches the US Jr. World Teams all around the world. April was ranked #1 women slalom skier in the world last year!  Mr. Coble taught his wife, Shirley Coble, how to ski in her 30s and now, at age 65, she is one of the nations top women competitors.

Chris Eller, April's husband, is also a Nationally ranked 3-event skier.  He is most well-known though as one of the world's best boat drivers!  Chris drove the World Slalom Record a couple years ago and is a current Pro Tour driver.  He trains our drivers here at camp and makes sure they are safe and doing all they can to help the skiers. 

The staff at Coble Water Ski and Wakeboard Camp is carefully chosen every year.  April selects over 40 instructors from all across the world.  These coaches and drivers are enthusiastic people who oversee the campers at all times.  We always have a driver and a coach in the boat with one student for all your private lessons.  The other students wait at a dock area with a lifeguard until it is their time to ski. This area has water trampolines, beach area, paddle boats, shade, drinking water, sunscreen, practice handles, etc.

You'll become part of our family when you come ski with us! We know you'll enjoy our true Southern hospitality!
