What are some of your thoughts on female wakeboarding at the pro level? The girls are better than ever and more fun to watch than the boys.

How do you feel about the Canadian female wakeboard scene?? It is really small, especially in Ontario. I have met some really rad girls through competing. On the start dock everyone is always encouraging and cheering each other on. It brings a team feeling to an individual sport.

What are your future plans with wakeboarding? To keep ridding!

Props to anyone? Thank you to anyone who has ever given me a pull.
