Jeremy Wahlberg is a retired military veteran with over 28 years of dedicated service to his country. His wife, Kaelyn, also proudly served and recently retired after 21 years of military service. Together, they represent nearly 50 years of combined service – a foundation built on leadership, sacrifice, and commitment to others.

As a devoted family, the Wahlbergs share a deep passion for water sports and the lifestyle that comes with time spent on the water.

In 2019, Jeremy and his family launched the Heroes Tour, a mission-driven initiative created to give back to families who, like theirs, are committed to serving their communities and country. Their vision was simple yet powerful: to provide opportunities for individuals and families to heal mentally, reconnect, and discover a lifelong passion for water sports. In 2020, they also took over ownership and operation of the Minnesota Wake Surf Championship (MNWSC), further investing in the growth of the wake surfing community.

While the Wahlbergs no longer operate the Heroes Tour or the MNWSC, their mission of service continues. Today, they focus on assisting individuals with physical disabilities access and enjoy sports that often present unique challenges. Through this renewed commitment, Jeremy, Kaelyn, and their family remain dedicated to breaking barriers and creating inclusive opportunities for others to experience the freedom, confidence, and joy that wake surfing brings.

Grant Korgan, a Lake Tahoe-based adventure athlete, husband and a foil-obsessed member of the Centurion Boats pro team. If you know Grant personally, you know how mind-blown he is with a heart full of gratitude to experience and share the magic that happens behind the world’s best boats. Not to get misty-eyes unnecessarily, but there is something about the way a perfect wave can turn any day into a memory you can carry forever.

That’s what Grant loves about Centurion. It’s not just performance, it’s a platform, it’s a family. The boat is a magic machine… where we host the people we love, laugh until it hurts, where friends become family and where simply being outside resets the whole nervous system. Grant has spent his live chasing heart-filling experiences ~ expeditions, adventure and moments… but the water is a special kind of medicine. It doesn’t ask you to be anything other than present. Show up. Breathe. Ride. Repeat.

His journey has been built on two things: a deep respect for the craft and a stubborn belief the best parts of life are found on the other side of discomfort. If you ask him why he rides for Centurion, it’s because he genuinely believes the people behind the brand care. From the founding family to the factory floor to the executive team, this tribe cares about innovation, the experience and the community.

Foiling, for Grant, is the purest blend of calm and intensity he’s ever found in movement over water. It’s technical. It’s fragile. It demands discipline and it rewards presence. One degree off and you pay for it. One breath too shallow and you lose the line. But when it’s right, it’s like floating through a dream with your best friends cheering from the boat. You don’t just ride the wave, you fly with it. It’s silent and loud at the same time. And he never stops being amazed that this is a real thing we get to do.

Grant also carries a deep sense of gratitude into every session because he knows how quickly life can change. He doesn’t take movement for granted. He doesn’t take community for granted and he definitely doesn’t take sunrise/sunset wave for granted. If you see Grant at the lake, come say “wassuppers”, throw a hug, send a high five and know that he’s 100% yes to a party wave invite!!

To Centurion: I’m grateful beyond words. Thank you for believing in me, pushing innovation and building boats that don’t just perform, they elevate human experience. I’ll keep representing with heart, humility and a commitment to making every set count. I am truly honored to waive this flag and represent everyone who makes this incredible company the family that it is.

Burn Survivor. Husband. Father of three. Pro wakeskater. On the water, Matt was on innovator landing many firsts in the sport. He holds titles like “trick of the year”, “wakestock champion” and many more. In 2015, Matt was electrocuted while trimming trees at a church project.

Since, Matt had 80 surgeries to get back on the water and back to being the dad and husband his family needs! Matt and Bobbye Jean have three little boys who love to adventure and play on the lake! Matt loves his family, being on the water, and most of all Jesus!

Zane, a native of College Station, TX, was raised in Texas and recently graduated from Oklahoma State University, specializing in commercial aviation. His journey into wake surfing began at the tender age of five, behind his uncle’s ski boat. After a few initial attempts, Zane was hooked by the sport and decided to participate in a local competition, where he proudly won the youngest ripper award. This accomplishment served as a turning point, fueling his passion for wake surfing. Recognizing Zane’s dedication, his uncle purchased a Centurion Sv240, which provided an unparalleled wave for Zane to conquer. Zane progressively advanced from the junior division and eventually won the highly competitive Outlaw Men Surf division in 2014. With a remarkable 20-year history in competitive wake surfing. Zane’s commitment to the sport remains unwavering. Instead of competing he now enjoys giving back to the sport by judging and helping the sport grow. Zane actively volunteers for Operation Get Out as well as Surfin With a Purpose. These two wonderful organizations support kids and adults with Down Syndrome as well as first responders and military personnel. While the water serves as his primary domain, Zane also finds his joy in aviation as a career, partaking in hunting and fishing pursuits, and simply reveling in the great outdoors.
