ORLANDO WATERSPORTS COMPLEX FEB 24, 2011 CAMERA: GOPRO ON A STICK LENS: WIDE ANGLE: RIDING CLOSE
Like a kid in a candy store, Jeff ran up to me at OWC asking if I had my camera gear, smiling from ear to ear… “You got to see this wheelie across the Funbox. Fortunately, I had my GoPro in the console of my truck charged up and ready to go. I attached it to a lightweight, 8 ft. pole so I could carry it while riding doubles.

Underwater Footprint LAKE ROOSEVELT, WA
This was my very first attempt to shoot a rider from underwater. It was also my first dose of how difficult it was. After trying this shot multiple times now, I realize how lucky I got back then, especially shooting film. 12

Andrew Adkison LAKE TELLICO, TN
Just moments before this innocent tube session with Drew, I broke right ring finger at the knuckle. Apparently, I lost my balance and tried to hang on for one second too long. To this day, I’m reminded of it every time I get on the tube…or type… or pick my nose. (Who picks their nose with their ring finger anyway?)

The Minnehaha Stamp CLERMONT, FL
Sometimes the best photographs are behind you. I found “Minnehaha” stamped into the road barrier as I stood on this bridge to shoot from. While insignificant to most vehicles passing by, this lake is home to some of wakeboarding’s most historical moves ever thrown.
