What I like the most when wakeboarding is that the only person you can rely on is yourself. Some people don't like individual sports because they can't take the pressure of failing or succeeding. When you're all alone floating on water or in the air, you feel free, no one is telling you what to do, you just enjoy what you are doing. That's what wakeboarding is all about.

The first thing that struck me when wakeboarding is that it was the perfect mix of snowboarding and waterskiing. I liked waterskiing because of the water feel, and snowboarding for the vibe and tricks you can do. What motivates me the most is that no matter how good you are, you always will be able to get better. In the next 5 years, just like any active kid, I would like to turn pro and make a living out of it. But in a year I want to move to Florida during the winter season and try to be part of the pro tour. To any kid who's trying to wakeboard for the first time, or has been wakeboarding for ever, never give up, and make sure to always keep it FUN!!!
