A partnership with the WSIA
AIO has joined the Water Sports Industry Association (WSIA) in efforts to support the wake industry and its athletes.With deeply established roots in the wake industry, the AIO team recently decided to create a new strategic partnership with the Water Sports Industry Association (WSIA). In efforts to increase interest in water sports, AIO will provide current athletes with unique opportunities to boost their brand recognition and bring new eyes towards the industry. Elite athletes like, Waterski and Wake Sports Foundation Hall of Fame member, Parks Bonifay are already teamed up with AIO, offering users once-in-a-lifetime adventures, and forming new life-long fans in the process.
What they think
“The crew behind Adventure IO are a virtual dream team of industry professionals who understand how to deliver a first-class experience for wake sports enthusiasts and more,” said Kevin Michael, Executive Director, Water Sports Industry Association. “They reached out to WSIA to see how they could support the industry because they truly care about the sport and understand the influence pro athletes provide. With Adventure IO’s tight network amongst the sport’s most interesting athletes, the experiences are very enticing, even to a life long industry vet like myself. Truth be told, I just downloaded the app and am considering booking an experience for a friend’s birthday this summer!”
“We believe great companies are responsible for pushing their industry forward while providing consumers with the best product possible,” said Billy McKee, AIO Founder and Chairman. “By teaming up with the WSIA and a lineup of elite water sport athletes, we are not only exposing the wake industry to new eyes but also offering our users once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to experience
