About Us - We Make Waves.

Who we are
Owners
WakeBallast has been making ballast solutions for wake boats since 2017, when our patented 50 lb. Steel Shot Ballast Bags changed the industry. We’re proud to hold the only patent on this type of ballast bag—every other version on the market is just an imitation.
In January 2023, Burk and Kelly Glauser purchased WakeBallast and turned it into a true family-run operation. As a woman-owned business based in Chandler, Arizona, we combine innovation, hands-on boating experience, and family values. Three of our five kids now help run daily operations, making WakeBallast a company built by riders, for riders.
What Drives Us
Our passion is wakesurfing and wakeboarding, especially at Lake Powell, where our family spends time testing gear and chasing better waves. WakeBallast was built to help boat owners do the same—maximize every session, minimize downtime, and enjoy safer alternatives to traditional lead weights.
Our mission is simple: create reliable, made-in-Arizona ballast products that make boating better for families, dealers, and wakesurfing communities everywhere.
