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
