-The Bonifay Banter 

 It was so damn fun hanging with Daniel Mlies and Massi Piffaretti from the wake crew, La Familia. We dove into some mind-bending tricks they think could be winning contests a decade from now. We also chatted about the new lake house Tyler Higham just snagged down in Winter Haven, Florida AKA the new La Familia headquarters !
Daniel, who’s the mastermind behind the camera and produces all their contention see from La Familia , he offers a real unique perspective on the crew. And during our chat, Massi whipped up some custom massi drinks for a halftime treat. Trust me, this is one you’ll want to listen to and watch over on YouTube. Daniel even shared some wild footage  that really gives color and  bring their crazy ass stories to life.

See you in the studio.
