Dean Smith:
Dean is the kind of rider that leaves it all out on the water. At a time when wakeboarding is growing rapidly, Dean has done a lot for the progression of the sport by letting his yam bag hang on every trick and run.
Rusty Malinoski:
Rusty has a real passion for wakeboarding that can really be seen in his riding. He sometimes gets a bad rap for his competitiveness, but it is only due to his love of winning, his aggressiveness and his unwavering focus.
Clay Fletcher:
I can relate to Clay because we have both learned to wakeboard without ever having owned a wakeboard boat. Granted I'm not a pro... Anyway, clay is a truly diverse rider with abilities in cable, rails and wake riding.
Keith Lyman:
If I had the abilities to make it as a pro wakeboarder I don't think I could give it up. However, the call to duty from Uncle Sam was enough to persuade Keith to do just that. Keith is finally following his life-long dream to protect and serve.
Olivier Derome:
Olivier was able to hone his riding skills through his work experience at the Projects just outside Orlando, and he is now one of the most impressive rail riders on the planet. However, he is quite sillek behind a boat as well.
Tom Fooshee:
Tom Fooshee's name is synonymous with cable park riding. He was crucial in the progression of cable riding and is the world's most successful cable rider. Ever.
Danny Harf:
Danny has always pushed the limits of his ability and the sport, and his passion for wakeboard videos has allowed us to witness much if it. His last Defy video is set to premier and be released in December 2011.
Josh Palma:
After a shoulder injury, Josh stopped chasing his dream of playing baseball and tried his hand at wakeboarding. Not a bad hand.
Brian Grubb:
Throughout wakeskating's 10 year existence, Brian Grubb has been a huge factor in the sport. Grubb has remained at the top of the ranks throughout his entire career and probably will until his retirement.
