DEFY Wakeboarding - Episodes

Avatar

Professional wakeboarder Dean Smith discusses the set up for an epic night shoot during the DEFY movie project. With a step up entry and big gap to enter the pool the boys construct a big kicker to launch Dean right into the sweet spot. With a few warm up laps Dean is ready to rock and sessions under the lights and into the night nailing a few clips for the movie!


Danny Harf pushes the boundaries of Wakeboarding further than anyone else. He was the first rider to land a 1260. In this video Danny hits some of the biggest double-ups ever seen and sends his airs way out into the flats.

How blue is that water??  And how much air does he get.. I would freak out haha I feel unstable when I jump 40cms on my snowboard and land on soft snow!! Let alone being towed, jumping like 2m+ and landing into waves!!

Professional wakeboarder Parks Bonifay checks in from Radar Lake outside Seattle, Washington. Parks has been coming here for years and by the looks of the setup it’s no wonder why! Combining a perfect setting with good friends and plenty of room to roam around and it’s clear why this place is so special. Parks shows off his rail game as well spinning combos all over the island of features.

Professional wakeboarders Danny Harf, Shane Bonifay, Daniel Watkins and Shawn Watson get towed in and surf waves down at Ballina Beach in Australia. Wakeboarding on waves in the ocean is new to us, what do you guys think?

The tow in stuff is amazing. I can see this part of the sport getting gnarlier shaka

Agreed. That was rad!

They’ve already wakeboarded Chopes, this guy is one of the guys that did it, from what I understand he’s a superstar of the sport so a bit weird they were calling it first time being towed into waves.

Bit undecided on it to be honest.
