    How to start a watersport center - a chat with Dani Reinhart

    Dani has been on the water ever since he was a little boy and had a steady job as a carpenter. Out of necessity after burning out he slowly began to build what is now an amazing watersport center at Lake Thun. The flagship is their 300k electric wakesurf boat that I was allowed to use a couple of weeks ago. Watersport centers are amazing as guests - how does it look from the other side though?
