After just two summers of operation, Dan Jarrett is coming up with plenty of ways to use his West Rock Wake Park to help those in the community find a special outlet in their lives.
Giving everyone a chance to learn how to wakeboard in a safe and controlled environment is the No. 1 goal of Jarrett and West Rock, which features a pair of Sesitec two-tower System 2.0 cables that pulls wakeboard riders around a loop one at a time on Levings Lake in Rockford.
Jarrett has expanded his role from an area pioneer in the world of wakeboard-cable systems to one of ambassador to anyone in need of an emotional lift.
“It’s been such a positive way to bring a smile to someone’s face,” Jarrett said. “If there is a family or a youngster that believes wakeboarding can help them get through some tough times, I’m going to take care of them – that’s all there is to it.”
