Lakeside Watersports was founded by Connor Kostyra and became one of the most recognized names on Candlewood Lake. It was known for wakeboarding, wakesurfing, waterskiing, and tubing — always with a focus on safety and a great experience on the water.
Over the years, Lakeside introduced first-timers to their first time up on a board, helped families make a day of it on the lake, and built a reputation for treating every guest like a friend. The boats, the coaching, and the local knowledge of Candlewood Lake were always paired with a commitment to running a safe, professional operation.
Lakeside Watersports is closed for the 2026 season. For wakeboarding, wakesurfing, tubing, pontoon charters, and group lake days, we recommend our partner Connecticut Water Sports on nearby Lake Lillinonah — the same lake-day experience with expert captains, just minutes from Candlewood Lake.
Lakeside Watersports was founded by Connor Kostyra, now a licensed Connecticut real estate salesperson with RE/MAX Rise. Connor helps buyers and sellers understand Candlewood Lake and Western Connecticut lake-area real estate — the towns, the shoreline, lake access, and what makes life on the water work.
