ON THE COVER

STU SHINN

By Joey Meddock In the already small community of wakeskaters, there is a growing divide between boat riders, personal watercraft, winch, rail and cable riders. There are less and less riders out there who hone their skills off the wake, behind the boat. It always seems to be a portion of the sport that is left out of their skill set. Let’s face it, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to do any of the other riding aspects, leaving the boat out of the equation. Stu, however, isn’t afraid to lay claim to this side of his board skills. After all, boat riding is the root of where wakeskating began in the first place. He’s proud of it and has every reason to be. He is on top of his game, and it’s no fluke Stu Shinn won the Wakeskate Trick

Dustin O’Ferrall LAKE MINNEHAHA, FL

“Dustin O’Ferrall is one Canadian with a lot of style. We took to the Clermont waters on Lake Minnehaha for a nice evening set. Shooting from the chase boat I captured one of Dustin’s stylish methods.” — Spencer Smith

Collin Harrington CLEAR LAKE, FL

Cooped up in an editing chair all day while staring at the computer screen doesn’t exactly count as exercise. You’ll loose your mind after a while. Your vision goes blurry and your legs will go numb. Catching the last light before dinner, Collin found a break to stretch his legs. Not a bad day’s “work.”

Trevor Hansen LAKE OROVILLE, CA

Prior to blowing out his knee out just a few weeks ago, Trevor logged a few hours behind the boat on the CWB team trip to Lake Oroville. As I shot from the top of the houseboat, Trev timed this Pete Rose at just the perfect spot. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t checked out the team video yet, put it on your list. Or watch it right now for instant gratification.

VIDEO

Erik Ruck LAKE JESSAMINE, FL

The Move Of The Year went down in Danny Harf’s new film, DEFY. Recipient of that prestigious award was Mr. Erik Ruck doing a switch mobe into a step-up pool only two feet deep. What does this photo have to do with that award? Nothing. Why do you need to know this? Because Ruck deserves every bit of it and I think you’ll agree after you watch this trailer for DEFY, due to release later this Fall. VIDEO
