What are some of your thoughts on female wakeboarding at the pro level? I think that female wakeboarding has come to a new level, all the girls are pushing each other at new heights. Its now in a different league- and we must continue to keep pushing the female sport of wakeboarding. I just think that we need to get more exposure and more funding to continue to show that female wakeboarders are as good as the boys. “GIRL POWER BABEY”

Props to anyone? To all those who love wakeboarding and support the sport- lets keep pushing it.
