What are some of your thoughts on female wakeboarding at the pro level? I think any girls competing at a pro level, wether it’s wakeboarding, skating, skiing, snowboarding etc., rock! I think that increased exposure of the women’s pro circuit will only help women’s wakeboarding evolve and progress.

What do we need to do to help the progression of women’s wakeboarding? Get the word out and encourage everyone to try regardless of age or experience on the water.

Future plans: Enjoy the summer coaching, riding and partying in Whistler!!

Props to anyone? All the girls at TID, Wake Academy, Whistler Wake, Riip curl, my family and roomies!!
