Alaina Martin's Truth on the Water

Written by Malibu Boats | Aug 1, 2024 8:00:00 PM

Malibu Boats are best enjoyed with the people you love the most - whether it's your family, your friends, or even a group of fellow moms getting together to learn how to surf. Meet Alaina Martin, founder of the Surf Moms Club on Lake Austin and learn how surfing brought this dynamic group of women together thanks to the 22 MXZ.

Though the members come from a variety of backgrounds, they're drawn together by their common love for the water, for each other, and for their shared responsibilities as mothers. "We all come from different backgrounds and might have different things going on in our lives, but when you get on a boat together, it just creates this sense of belonging and community," she said.

"I leave all of my worries of being a mom, at home, and I'm just out there in that moment. Being behind the boat is the most peace I ever feel." said one Surf Moms member.

Another agreed. " Especially as a mom, it really centers you. Something about the lake brings you into the present."

A CARING CLUB

For Alaina, the Surf Moms Club is about creating a supportive environment that helps moms embrace the fun of wakesurfing and the boating lifestyle. "You're going to build your life around whatever is your truth and whatever you prioritize," Alaina said.

And at the Surf Moms Club, the members rightly prioritize themselves - just for a few hours on the water, at least. "Alaina actually took me out for my very first wakesurfing lesson. She has patience. She doesn't care if you fall. She tells you why you fell. It's absolutely empowering," one Surf Mom commented. "Alaina is cheering you on as much as anybody."
