Jeremy "Wally" Wahlberg

Jeremy Wahlberg, a retired military veteran with 28 years of dedicated service as a First Sergeant, has lived a life defined by adventure, service, and a deep love for water sports. His deployment in 2007-2008 during Operation Iraqi Freedom reflects his unwavering commitment to duty and his country.

Jeremy's journey extends far beyond the military. He shares his remarkable life with his incredible wife, Kaelyn Wahlberg, a retired Sergeant First Class with 20 years of service. Together, they've built a family filled with love, raising two sons Devin, London and, in October 2023, welcoming a 12-year-old girl Bella, into their hearts through adoption.

The Wahlberg Family is united by their passion for water sports, particularly wakesurfing and wakeboarding. Their shared enthusiasm for these activities has not only brought them closer but has also become a central part of their lives.

In 2019, Jeremy and his family embarked on a mission close to their hearts. They started the Heroes Tour with a vision of giving back to families who, like theirs, are deeply committed to serving their community and country. Their goal was simple yet profound: to provide opportunities for others to heal mentally and discover a lifelong passion for water sports.

In 2022, the Heroes Tour officially became "Our Heroes Tour," a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This transformation marked a deeper commitment to community service and support for those who have served.

Our Heroes Tour's mission is nothing short of inspiring: to provide unique and unforgettable experiences for past and present First Responders, Military personnel, and their families. These experiences not only allow them to engage in thrilling water sports but also provide precious moments to live, laugh, and love together as a community of heroes.

Beyond their charitable work, the Wahlberg Family owns and operates the Minnesota Wakesurf Championship (MNWSC). This championship event has become a highlight on every wakesurfer's calendar during the summer months.

The MNWSC offers a diverse range of activities, from thrilling on-water action to sponsor booth markets, fireworks displays, beer gardens, live music, parades, and even stunt bike shows. With an annual attendance of 8,000 to 10,000 people, this event has ascended to become one of the top spots on the World Series of Wakesurfing (WSWS) circuit.

Jeremy Wahlberg's life story is a testament to the values of adventure, service, family, and the pursuit of shared passions. From his distinguished military career to his commitment to giving back through Our Heroes Tour and the promotion of the Minnesota Wakesurf Championship, Jeremy embodies the spirit of dedication, community, and the pursuit of meaningful experiences. His journey serves as an inspiring reminder that through service, family, and shared passions, we can make a positive impact on the lives of others while creating lasting memories for ourselves.

Grant Korgan

Grant Korgan, a Lake Tahoe-based adventure athlete, husband and a foil-obsessed member of the Centurion Boats pro team. If you know Grant personally, you know how mind-blown he is with a heart full of gratitude to experience and share the magic that happens behind the world’s best boats. Not to get misty-eyes unnecessarily, but there is something about the way a perfect wave can turn any day into a memory you can carry forever.

That’s what Grant loves about Centurion. It’s not just performance, it’s a platform, it’s a family. The boat is a magic machine… where we host the people we love, laugh until it hurts, where friends become family and where simply being outside resets the whole nervous system. Grant has spent his live chasing heart-filling experiences ~ expeditions, adventure and moments… but the water is a special kind of medicine. It doesn’t ask you to be anything other than present. Show up. Breathe. Ride. Repeat.

His journey has been built on two things: a deep respect for the craft and a stubborn belief the best parts of life are found on the other side of discomfort. If you ask him why he rides for Centurion, it’s because he genuinely believes the people behind the brand care. From the founding family to the factory floor to the executive team, this tribe cares about innovation, the experience and the community.

Foiling, for Grant, is the purest blend of calm and intensity he’s ever found in movement over water. It’s technical. It’s fragile. It demands discipline and it rewards presence. One degree off and you pay for it. One breath too shallow and you lose the line. But when it’s right, it’s like floating through a dream with your best friends cheering from the boat. You don’t just ride the wave, you fly with it. It’s silent and loud at the same time. And he never stops being amazed that this is a real thing we get to do.

Grant also carries a deep sense of gratitude into every session because he knows how quickly life can change. He doesn’t take movement for granted. He doesn’t take community for granted and he definitely doesn’t take sunrise/sunset wave for granted. If you see Grant at the lake, come say “wassuppers”, throw a hug, send a high five and know that he’s 100% yes to a party wave invite!!

To Centurion: I’m grateful beyond words. Thank you for believing in me, pushing innovation and building boats that don’t just perform, they elevate human experience. I’ll keep representing with heart, humility and a commitment to making every set count. I am truly honored to waive this flag and represent everyone who makes this incredible company the family that it is.
