Jake Ramsdell is a professional wakeskater from Chippewa Lake, Ohio. Getting his start show skiing, Jake spent thousands of hours on the water as a kid. From barefooting, to trick skiing, to show skiing, and just about everything else, Jake is a certified waterman. In his college years he woke up one day with a desire to make a change and move to Florida to pursue more wakeskating, and while it wasn't necessarily easy, he did it. The Wakeskate Tour, catching gators, winning a national title, quitting your cubicle job, NBD's, gnarly spots, video parts, and sobriety. Hear all that and much more in Episode 46 of the Grab Matters Podcast, now streaming on all platforms!
