Shane Bonifay is a wakeboarder and videographer from Lake Alfred, Florida. Shane grew up on the water, getting his start at an early age on waterskis and competed alongside his brother Parks in 3-event ski tournaments. After the introduction of wakeboarding, both Shane and Parks took a liking to the freedom and creativity offered in wakeboarding and quickly progressed their riding. With Parks being the biggest name in the sport, Shane began to distance himself from his brother and continued to make a name for himself both in contests and in his free riding. Shane had a long and fruitful career as a professional rider, and has now stepped behind the scenes in the industry to continue to influence the sports he loves. Wakepants, pro models, pointless posse, inventing tricks, 17 cavities, crazy rail setups, video parts, gaining and losing sponsors, and some advice Shane has for up and coming riders. Hear all that and much more in Episode 25 of the Grab Matters Podcast. Find more at grabmatters.com
