Hi, I’m Zak Sievers, co-founder of NorCal Wake Co. Born and raised in the Sacramento area, I developed a passion for watersports at just 5 years old. Growing up, I spent countless days wakeboarding and wakesurfing at Folsom Lake, the Delta, and lakes throughout Northern California, creating memories that fueled my love for life on the water.
Those experiences inspired me to help start NorCal Wake Co. because I wanted to share the excitement, freedom, and connection that a great day on the lake can provide. Whether it’s helping someone get up for the first time, landing their first trick or simply enjoying time with friends and family, there’s nothing quite like being on the water.
Outside of the business, I proudly serve as a paramedic with a local fire department. The values and discipline I’ve developed throughout my career carry over into every part of our operation, with safety, reliability, and professionalism always coming first. Our mission is to provide a stress-free and memorable experience where guests feel comfortable from the moment they step on board. Whether they’re learning to ride, spending time with friends and family, or simply enjoying a day on water.
I look forward to welcoming you aboard and sharing an Elevated Lake Day with you.

Hi, I’m Ryan Mucher, co-founder of NorCal Wake Co. Born and raised in the East Bay, I met my best friend and business partner, Zak, while attending Sacramento State. Nearly ten years ago, Zak and his family introduced me to water sports, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Some of my best memories have been made on the water, and that’s what inspired us to start NorCal Wake Co.—to give others the opportunity to experience the same excitement, connection, and unforgettable moments that make this lifestyle so special.
Outside of the business, I proudly serve as a police officer. My career has instilled the values of professionalism, preparation, and putting safety first—principles that guide every charter we operate. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where guests can relax, have fun, and make lasting memories.
Whether you’re an experienced rider or trying water sports for the first time, I look forward to sharing an Elevated Lake Day with you.
