    Yoki. Jeff Yokoyama. If you surf, have surfed over the last 45 years, or have ever worn any surf inspired clothing, you’re likely aware of Yoki. He’s a globally renowned designer, visionary brand builder, innovator, entrepreneur many times over, a forward thinker, a family man, a model, a master of the “California Cool” style, and one of the coolest, most stylish guys you’ll meet.

    Jay Wild and his wife Anik are world class, accomplished, multisport athletes with a passion for adventure, the outdoors, coaching, and doing really good things. They have used their impressive skills to build an incredible “waterman” community far from, and far above, the ocean on beautiful Lake Tahoe.

As accomplished and passionate coaches and members of the community, they have created a powerful resource to help kids, adults and those dealing with physical or mental obstacles to embrace and leverage the power of water. Through human powered water sports, they help people improve health, fitness, wellness and quality of life. Ultimately, they have built a community. Waterman’s Landing and their non-profit, Waterman Foundation Tahoe. Their programs along with a coffee shop and their foundation are making a big difference in the lives of people in Lake Tahoe and well beyond.
