Lines-End started back in 2001 because there was a need for quality wakeboarding and waterski instruction in New Jersey. Mike Ballone partnered with another talented rider in the area and started the school. Eight years later, Mike has taken on full ownership of the school running bareboat charters and has evolved it into the best place to receive wakeboard instruction in the greater New Jersey area. April has joined Mike full-time, not only as his wife (they were married on July 19, 2008), but giving lessons behind their brand new Centurion.
