ON THE COVER

SHAWN WATSON

By Aaron Grace I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Shawn Watson for almost 15 years now. Shawn has always been known for his smooth style on the water and his dedication to the sport and his fans off the water. He is the guy that no matter what, will take the time to sign an autograph and pose for a photo. Over the past 15 years, I have also picked up on a few other characteristics of Shawn that I’d like to share with you. “Square Circles” - First and foremost, he might be the most indecisive person I have ever worked with. Shawn has had a pro model board with LF for over 10 years, which means he helps design his product graphics. “I want something colorful, but black and white.” I think anyone that knows Shawn, can agree 100% with this. If he could have a square circle, he would be content. “Buttons” - The guy loves to touch buttons. Next time you see Shawn, I guarantee he will have his phone out and will be texting or poking around

who knows what he is doing, but he has to be touching a button.

“Status” - he’s all about status... Not in everyday life, no, he is very laid back. I am talking about status on Delta Airlines. Not one single per-

claim he has made Diamond status on Delta. The best characteristic about Shawn is his attitude. The guy just always seems to be in a good mood no matter what the situation and he wants to make sure that everyone around him feels the same. It’s been a true pleasure of mine to work with Shawn for all the years I have and

“When you’re approaching the wake, keep your arms in close to your hips. As you hit the wake, lock in your first grab and make sure you are not off-balance. Then, go for your second grab and start the backside 180 rotation. “ —Rusty Malinoski VIDEO
