What is your favourite thing about wakeboarding? That sense of freedom you get when you go out on the water. Give me some tunes, rails, and a beautiful sunset and I am in Heaven.

Whats something unique about wakeboarding in your country? Nick Davies- One of the worlds most talented cable riders. We have some amazing riders in the UK given we have such a short season to ride in.

Where is your absolute favourite place to ride? I have too many favourites, Thorpe and Princes are both home for me, we have sick rails and its where I first started riding, its where my mates are.
