For the entire time I have been involved in [wakeboarding] and its afiliated industry I have pushed the concept that traveling the world and riding with people outside of your home lake is one of the most enlightening and rewarding experiences any wakeboarder or wakeskater can have. By traveling you meet people who have the same interests as you, they just grew up on the other side of the planet and deal with different hurdles to get out on the water.
