Scott Stewart Interview | The Resurgence of Boat Riding

Behind the Rider | Scott Stewart

Scott Stewart is one of those riders that makes you second guess your skills behind the boat. Scott has a knack for going big…really big, but in the most stylish way possible. Over five years ago he won the BuyWake.com Global Rider Search V2 and his video edit had the internet buzzing. Since then Scott has grown more mature personally and his riding has strikingly improved. His passion for wakeboarding is obvious and his commitment to keeping style and amplitude his main focus. Those are just some of the reasons why we like him.

BW: What athletic background do you have? Before wakeboarding did you play any competitive sports?
SS: I grew up skateboarding and snowboarding. I was never really into any team sports, but I played football for a few years. Read More >
