How it started . . .

I started waterskiing when I was 8, then in 2019 I tried barefooting for the first time. I was coached by family friends and neighbors at Lake Atiamuri.

Favorite thing about the WBC . . .

My favorite thing about the WBC is how close the crew is and the great relationships I’ve made. Additionally the different coaching styles and perspectives you can receive in regards to skiing.
