SMG Wake Shop


Singleton Marine Group is very proud to announce the addition of Pro Wakeboarder, Johnny Tobaben, formerly ranked 8th in the world! Johnny is joining us at the Singleton Marine Group of Atlanta location by opening the SMG Wake Shop.  

Johnny was born and raised right here locally and has had an amazing journey in life for someone so young. At just 19 years young, he is offering his expertise in Pro Wakeboarding and boating to all who enter our doors.

Johnny started wakeboarding at age 7 -- after 7 attempts to get up, he finally caught the first ride of his life and has been addicted ever since! In an interview he gave for "Wake World" he was asked where his favorite spot to board would be: "It is hard to name just one place because wakeboarding has taken me to so many beautiful places, but if I had to pick just one -- it would be Key Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida. 
The place looks unbelievable! You look to your right and see lots of green. It looks like Gilligan's Island, but then you look to your left and there it is one of the most breathtaking sights in the world, the city and bay of Miami! I feel like I am a star in a Miami Vice movie every time I am there."

Johnny moved to Orlando Florida at age 15 to study with his coach, Mike Conner. Johnny is also a big fan of surfing and all things that increase the body's adrenaline! We are lucky to have met him last summer hanging out at "Wet Wednesdays" in Sunset Cove on Lake Lanier.
