We have recurring guest Dylan Mead in the booth to chat all things wakeboarding, answer some patreon questions, and flip the script on the usual pod. We're changing it up this week and Dylan came prepared with some questions of his own for Hunter, including some about the ins and outs of what its like to run a podcast. Wildest winch kick out stories, riding without a helmet, chugging milk, Grab Matters event coverage, kicker sizes, living in Utah, boarding on a budget, the "progression of a hater", and the Grab Matters x Unit rail. Hear all that and much more in Episode 79 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
