ON THE COVER Aaron Reed SOMEWHERE, TEXAS SUMMER 2009 CAMERA: NIKON D3 LENS: NIKKOR 80-200MM ANGLE: BRIDGE
Finders keepers. Aaron Reed is a master at finding killer winch spots. So much in fact, he’d be reluctant to tell you where this photo was taken. In a sport that grows leaps and bounds daily, these type of locations are hot commodities and sometimes territorial for wakeskaters. They’re not often spoken about, just sessioned and left alone. Here, Reed 3-shovs up the spillway, claiming stake.
