Isabella Zulian
I currently live in Gold Coast, Australia. I've been wakeboarding for the last 4 years and absolutely love the sport. I'm predominantly a boat rider, however I do enjoy to ride cable also. My latest achievements have been Jnr Women 2023 Australian Champion, NSW Wakeboard State Champion, and 4th in 2023 WWA World Championships in Portugal. My overall goal is to be the best I can be and to also inspire younger riders to join this amazing sport.
Cole Black
I am a wakeboarder from Jackson, Ga. This is my fifth year of wakeboarding. Throughout my childhood I have always gone to the lake with friends and family. My dad, brother, and his friends were always wakeboarding when we would go out. It took me many times of trying before I was able to get up on the board, but once I figured it out I was hooked. At 11 years old I knew wakeboarding would be in my future. So now my main priority is building a name for myself in the sport and becoming a better and more consistent contest rider. My favorite trick is a whirly or wrapped KGB.
Braden Smithwick
I am a wakeboarder from Washington, NC. I started wakeboarding when I was 9 years old and haven't looked back since. Most of my younger career was spent riding behind center console fish boats. Now that I have started riding wake boats in the last 2 years, my riding has taken off. I plan to get on the cable more so I can advance there. Now, I am working on toe 7s and double back rolls. My favorite trick is a switch heelside Indy 540. The things I love most about wakeboarding are the community, competitions, and memories made on the water.

A 17-year-old rider from Dundee, Ohio. Nevin rides mostly boat but also enjoys cable. He started boarding when he was 10 but didn't start riding regularly until last year. Now his riding has really taken off. He's already locked in a couple new inverts and is looking forward to going all the way to the top and meeting new people along the way.
Mackenzie Mews
An enthusiastic boat wakeboarder from Western Australia who is progressing in the sport, she is on a continuous learning journey. Mackenzie first started in 2020 and wasn't riding very regularly, but got a wake boat in 2022 and started wanting to push herself by going bigger and trying new stuff. Her favorite thing about wakeboarding is the community and the support from each other, and her favorite trick is a half cab. She is excited for a future which will be full of lots of experiences, excitement, falls, and meeting more people along the way.
