When breaking your neck isn’t the wake up call you needed, what is? In today’s episode we explore a different side of wakeboarding, the side many are likely familiar with, the side of the rider who tried to “go pro” but never quite reached the top. Derek Huntoon is what you would call a boarder through and through, summers at the cable and winters on the hill. An unreal slam, riding rails before cables were around, being flow for just about every major brand, alcohol and boarding, breaking your neck, hitting rock bottom, sobriety, dream feature, winching, and what it means to be a “boarder” Hear all that and much more in Episode 109 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
