Prior to competing at an event I like to get myself ready and relax, and then right before I head out to the boat I like to talk to the other competitors to get to know them and joke around before we surf.
Some of my hobbies include doing a few DIY projects around the house or occasionally doing an abstract acrylic painting.

I love surfing, skim boarding, and teaching lessons for individuals or groups or families. It’s fun to me and I like to show how it can be fun and safe for everyone. I’ve also started Wake Shredder Clothing and have been sponsoring events myself in order to push the sport even farther into the media. Wake Shredder is now a known name in the Wake Surf world and I appreciate everyone that has supported it.
Favorite trick has to be the Gun Show haha.
Favorite playlist will always be some type of electronic music like Knife Party.
Achievements: 3rd Place 2014 Worlds. Featured in iPhone 6 commercial . Anytime I get on that podium or just have a killer session or land a new trick is a great accomplishment to me. My goals are not only for me to push myself above and beyond anything I can do but to progress the sport by pushing the younger generations to learn and love the sport and show them that its not just competition…Its Fun!

My favorite trick is just a simple air. I LOVE to jump!!
I’m always ready and eager to surf. If I can, I like to go for a run before I compete to get my heart rate up. I am always PUMPED UP to surf! I don’t have to put my serious game face on. I just like to go out and have fun!
Some of my hobbies include Hunting, camping, hiking, shooting, going to bonfires, going 4 wheeling, traveling, working on trucks, working, and anything that gets me outside of the house.

Parents taught me to ski at a young age. Skiing evolved to wakeboarding. Wakeboarding was my dream job and I worked to make my dream come true. My favorite tricks are: Toeside Front Flip w/Tail grab, Nose grabbed Slim Chance 540, and Heelside Backside 720. Lately I’ve been jamming to Big Wild. Prior to competing a try to get my body as lively and loose as it gets so I can go big! Squats, jumping jacks, stretching, and a fair amount of pacing usually get the job done.
Aside from being behind the boat, I love to teach others and grow watersports. This will be the 19th year of my wakeboard and wakesurf school, the 13th year of my boardshop, and 2nd year of my boat rentals business. One day I’d like to own a boat dealership of my own.

Favorite Trick is a Surf style 3 shuv
Before competing, I enjoy just hanging out with my surf friends that I have meet over the years!
I started to Wake surf on my uncle’s boat when I was 5 years old. I then entered my first competition at the age of 7 in Austin, Texas called Barrel Boss. I got the youngest ripper award which at the age of 7 was super exciting!

Started wakesurfing in Boise Idaho in 2005. My dad bought a Centurion Enzo SV230 in 2008 and my surfing really started to improve. Centurion waves have always been leaps and bounds better than competing boats and my progression really kicked into high gear. My wife and I did our first surf competition in 2010 in Seattle and the rest is history.
I have 2 kids, Jack and Madison and they love hanging on the boat and learning to surf. They’ve even made some cameos in the Centurion photo shoots. I love snowboarding and typically plan several backcountry heli/cat trips each year in Canada.
Achievements: I took 2nd place in Pro Men’s surf at the World Wakesurf Championships in 2014

I started wakeboarding at 3 1/2 years old in Centralia, IL. My favorite place to ride is on the Murray River in Yarrawonga, Victoria, AUS. Favorite trick, Indy tantrum or indy backroll. Favorite playlist, any music really! Well I mean it has to be upbeat. Before competing I just listen to music to try and calm down and not let my nerves get the best of me.

I got started on a lake just outside Dublin when I was 5 years old. My neighbor had a boat, and he used to take us out waterskiing. Then through my teens I progressed into wakeboarding and never looked back. My favorite place to ride would have to be my home spot (Lough Sillan, Cavan), but I’m also a huge fan of riding in the USA and some of the lakes in Europe too – anywhere with good vibes! Favorite trick is just a simple indy backside 180. It’s not the craziest trick, just one I enjoy doing. Usually before I ride, I just like to have a really quick stretch, and maybe jump in the water so that I’m already wet and not avoiding falling in!! Haha

I began wakesurfing behind our 2001 model boat with tons of fat sacks trying to make a wave, I quickly got hooked and it took off from there. My favorite place to surf is Lake Texoma, in the muddy red river water!
My favorite trick is probably a 5 shove or a 3 shove transfer.
My only playlist while riding is 80s rock and Texas country music. In my fathers words, “when you sign the check you can play your music”.
Before I compete I like to wax my board and listen to music.
I have one sister, and a dog which is basically my child.
My favorite food is Firehouse Subs I enjoy riding motorcycles, flying planes, playing with my dog, and spending time outside and on the lake.
I hate dirty boats. I get it from my dad, I’m a clean freak and have a little bit of OCD when it comes to clean boats and trucks.
Achievements… 2nd place amateur men’s skim world championship 2015, 2nd place men’s outlaw skim 2016 world championship. Flying an airplane by myself.
Sponsors… Exile Skimboards, Centurion Boats, Freedom Marine.
