Hitting double ups is my favorite part – especially at sunset, you can do a big trick and ride off into the sunset like a movie and it’s not something you do skiing or sssssurfing

Why do you choose to ride for Minnesota Inboard?
Everyone there is really cool and can help support you with products that will allow you to progress in your sport and most importantly have FUN out on the water!
What message would you like to share with all the kids looking to take the next step in riding?
Keep your head up and keep trying, you’re going to fall and it’s going to hurt sometimes but having the persistence to get back up and give it another try is the thing that sets people apart
