With 36 years of water sports industry experience, Active Water Sports prides itself in being knowledgeable on all products from boats to wakeboards in order to assist our customers in making the best buying decisions. Owner Warren Freece started the small business out of his passion for waterskiing and turned it into the largest boat dealership in the Pacific Northwest. In 1968, the Freece family purchased property at Lake Mayfield, where Warren first learned to waterski. At 16, Warren had his high school diploma in hand and began his career in construction making just $1.35 an hour. With many economic ups and downs and jobs coming and going, Warren started skiing competitively and even teaching his friends to waterski. So he began investing in the sport, buying new skis and even creating a homebuilt slalom course and ski ramp. Warrens dad, Harold, suggested he make a business out of his hobby in order to invest in the sport wisely.
