OUR MISSION
Redefining the way you spend time on the water.
Montara is on a mission to eliminate the sacrifices owners of traditional wake sports boats must make to enjoy time behind the boat. Our wake is clean and rampy. Our surf wakes are full of push with just the right amount of curl and adjustability to accommodate riders of all shapes, sizes and weights. But it’s our expansive deck that sets us apart. Easy access from the dock, nothing to climb over, storage for days, comfort in every seat and more fun for everyone. Explore the myriad of possibilities in a Montara of your own.
Montara COMMUNITY
Founded in 2018
We are surfers, wakeboarders, skiers and pontoon cruisers. We love it all! The no judgment zone is wide within Montara, as our owners come from all aspects of the boating universe. If you share our passion for time on the water and are willing to lead the way, you share the Montara DNA.
OUR RECENT
JOURNEY
As a small volume builder of boats, Montara is hardly a household word. Yet in water sports circles we’re all the buzz.
Scott Byerly
It would be difficult to name a more influential rider over the past 30 years of wakeboarding, than Scott Byerly. After an Iconic career behind the boat, Scott has helped Montara develop the Byerly Edition. And this boat has proven to be the most successful configuration we build. With its cammo motif and almost every option in the book, Montara builds these boats for the most discriminating buyers on the planet. Byerly Edition Montara’s are almost Impossible to keep in dealer inventory, which is a testament to the legacy of Scott Byerly and what he means to the sport of wakeboarding. Thanks for joining the Montara Team, Scott!
Boat of the Year
Elsewhere on this website, is the story behind Montara beating out every other boat built in the USA for Boating’s Boat of the Year honors. But the impact of this award has established Montara as a true innovator.
Travis Pastrana
The man who needs no introduction, is a family man first. When he not blowing minds with his heroic jumps and Nitro Circus performances, Travis is on the water with his family. The man who LOVES pontoons has been waiting for Montara his entire adult life (if you can call him an adult). A quick check of Travis’ personal Instagram or his Channel 199 Facebook page will show you how much he loves his Montara.
Gunner Daft
Its highly unusual for a World Class wakeboarder to pester you to sign them because they love your wake so much. But this is exactly what happened in 2022 when Gunner Daft tested the Montara wake for Boating Magazine. Gunner was NOT expecting world class wakes from an aluminum boat with a pontoon deck layout. But by the end of testing, he was a believer. Like a true apostle, Gunner has invited some of the world’s greatest riders, to ride behind his boat in Orlando. It surprises everyone. Of course they can’t talk about it, because they are sponsored by wakeboard boat builders. But they now know just how good the Montara wake is.
Alliance Less than 5
The Less Than 5 Event is Alliances effort to take wakeboarding back to its roots of style and grace. No 720’s, no inverted airs, nothing overly technical, just big air, with grabs and style. Alliance invited Montara to pull this event as a way to align the laid-back atmosphere of the event with a non-intimidating tow boat. To call it a success is an understatement. To a person, the competitors were extremely complimentary of the boats wake so word on the street among the world’s best riders is that Montara is legit.
Watersport Industry Association, Most Innovative Company
Speaking of innovation, it’s always a tremendous honor to be recognized by your peers for the impact of your vision. And the WSIA award just goes to prove that its more than Montara owners who appreciate true innovation.
Alliance Party Wave
Much like the Less Than 5 Event legitimized our wakeboard wake, Alliances, Party Wave Event attracted the finest wake surfers from around the world to ride behind our boat. To a person, they were shocked at just how strong our surf wake is. They found that they could pull off every trick that they do behind their wake surf boat, behind a Montara. And the legend continues to grow.
