HOW DROP_THEROPE WAS BORN

Have you ever had that moment when you realized something so powerful, so transformative, that it changed the way you saw everything? That’s exactly what happened to me with drop_therope.

A Wake, A Rope, and a Realization = drop_therope

It all started with my journey into wakesurfing. I remember the first time I got up on a board, holding onto the rope for dear life. At first, it was all about balance, control, and trying not to fall. But then came that pivotal moment—the moment I let go of the rope and truly rode the wave on my own. That feeling of freedom, flow, and connection with the water was unlike anything else. It was more than just a milestone in wakesurfing; it was a lesson about life.

That’s where the idea for DropTheRope was born. I realized that letting go wasn’t just about wakesurfing—it was a mindset, a philosophy. It’s about trusting yourself, embracing the unknown, and finding your own rhythm beyond the safety net. I wanted to share this feeling with others, not just within wakesurfing, but as a broader concept for personal growth and community.

From an Idea to a something more

In 2024, I launched drop_therope on Instagram, initially as a way to document my personal growth and journey in wakesurfing. But it quickly became something more.

I started connecting with people from all over the world who resonated with the message. They saw themselves in the struggle, the triumph, and the excitement of letting go and pushing past their limits.

This led to something even bigger: the Wake Buddy—a way to bring together people who wanted to experience wakesurfing, whether they were beginners or looking for visiting Italy and its lakes. Through this, I'm sure I'm gonna meet incredible individuals, formed friendships, and build a network of people who share the same passion.

What’s Next?

drop_therope is still evolving, and 2025 is going to be another exciting chapter. I have new ideas, new projects, and a vision to make this concept even more impactful. But at its core, drop_therope, will always be about that moment of release—the courage to let go, ride the wave, and trust the journey.

So, whether you’re into wakesurfing or just looking for inspiration to take that next big leap in life, I invite you to be part of this adventure. Let’s drop the rope together.

Follow along, connect, and share your story—because the best rides begin when you let go.

See you soon! On a boat or Hoamong the rows of this blog.

Sincerely,

Giuse, your WakeBuddy
