BuyWake and Hyperlite pro, Scott Stewart, recently left sunny Florida behind for a trip to Jackson Hole, WY.
“There was an amazing amount of powder.” Scott explains. “Snowing all day heavy, almost everyday and everyone was just riding non stop.”
If you didn’t know, Scott is a man of many trades: surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding and skateboarding at an elite level. Here are some pics from his recent trip.

Danny Harf first blew his first ACL when he was 19 years old. He credits his CTi knee brace not only for support, but also the peace of mind needed to keep pushing the sport. With wakeboarding comes impact, brace yourself.

Today’s professional wakeboarder is more “fashion conscious” than ever. Right? I mean, the collective standard for riding used to be board shorts, a vest, and maybe a heater top. A rider would only cover their vest to wear a bib in a contest. Ten years later we see pros riding in t-shirts, button downs, windbreakers, hoodies, and even pants (FYI: only Shane Bonifay is allowed to do this). One can speculate on this trend for hours, but one thing remains constant: the need for flotation.
Just because vests these days are covered up by bright green flannels and logo T-shirts doesn’t mean they’ve gone by the wayside. The big wakes and progressive riding of the contemporary era make the life jacket more important than ever before. The bigger we go, the harder we fall.
In the wake of an amazing rookie season, James Windsor – the valued young ripper from Australia’s Gold Coast – recently signed with Slingshot Wake. Windsor competed in the 2012 WWA Wake Park World Series for the first time and ranked 3rd overall.
“Hands down the best rookie in all of wakeboarding this year is James Windsor.” The WWA’s Rob Corum explains. “He’s a 17-year-old Australian rider that has taken the world of wakeboarding by storm.”
It’s no secret that young, international cable rippers have become a hot commodity for brands looking to expand their presence in the realm of worldwide cable wakeboarding. Here’s to the future.
