Just hopped off the phone with my good friend . For anyone who follows Watersports, He's an icon of wakeboarding and wakeskating. He’s helped mold the sport into what it is today. His birthday just passed on the 20th of April and recently he was on our mutual friends' podcast who are also watersports legends . Between these guys, there’s a lot of wakeboard history and a whole lot of life experience. I got to travel the globe with many of these guys and girls over a 15-year or so span and it’s such an incredible way to get to know the world around you. You’re off to cities all over the United States every week. Once a month or so you get to travel to a foreign country where you’re usually greeted by someone who knows the lay of the land and shows you the very best parts of their culture. Scott has been on twice now and he mentioned that he wants to go back on to share a bit more. I told him that I enjoyed it and he should absolutely go back on and keep in mind that he has a literal lifetime in the sport and to cover all the bases it would take many episodes. I’m here for it! His first episode was episode 9 and I think this was episode 32. Parks and Shane have created a cool thing on their podcast. Yes, it's Wakeboards heavy but those guys transcend wakeboarding and have been involved with so many different people and projects through action sports, and beyond that the pool of people they can access to have on the show is almost limitless. If you get a moment and like to hear wild stories and some heartfelt conversations I’d recommend it. There’s a reason these guys have had the longevity and it’s not just because they’re great athletes. They’re great people who have represented our industry when it was booming. They carried the torch long before pocket computers, social media, and digital cameras were even a thing, and were still global icons. Hats off to you my friend and Happy birthday. I can’t wait for the next one, maybe I can sit in!?!
