Over the past decade no rider has been as dominant as Meagan, with countless podiums on both competitive disciplines (boat and cable), she has constantly been on the forefront of women’s riding for years. Although Meagan has Midwest roots, she moved down to Florida at a very young age to pursue wakeboarding, and has remained in the south ever since. Clear Lake rail park, going pro, switching sponsors, Let Her Rip, landing the KGB 5, marrying your best friend, equal pay, and the cover that never was. Hear all that and much more in Episode 80 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
