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.

In this episode, my guest is Zahra Kell, a 4X world champion professional wakeboarder and former competitive snowboarder. We explore her incredible journey from riding behind her father's wakeboard at just one year old to becoming a seven-time Australian champion by age 13 and eventually winning the World Championship in the pro division. Zahra shares the mental fortitude required to compete at the highest level, including her strategies for overcoming serious injuries - from concussions to fractures - and continuing to perform under pressure. We discuss the psychology of fear, particularly when attempting the same trick that just resulted in a painful crash, and how repetition builds the muscle memory that allows athletes to perform even when their conscious mind is compromised. Additionally, we examine the unique aspects of wakeboarding as a sport, Zahra's competitive nature that extends beyond the water, and how she balances intense training with recovery. We also delve into her success as a social media creator, the strategies that helped her grow from 10,000 to 244,000 followers, and her approach to handling negativity online. Finally, Zahra offers valuable insights on the importance of consistency in both sport and life, the vital role family support plays in athletic success, and her perspective on being a female athlete in a traditionally male-dominated sport.   --- Download Michael's FREE Success Blueprint! This is the exact framework Michael uses to help high performers reclaim their energy, clarity, and MOJO.

We have recurring guest Dylan Mead in the booth to chat all things wakeboarding, answer some patreon questions, and flip the script on the usual pod. We're changing it up this week and Dylan came prepared with some questions of his own for Hunter, including some about the ins and outs of what its like to run a podcast. Wildest winch kick out stories, riding without a helmet, chugging milk, Grab Matters event coverage, kicker sizes, living in Utah, boarding on a budget, the "progression of a hater", and the Grab Matters x Unit rail.

Rivers Hedrick may get her name mispronounced at just about every event she rides in, but that doesn't mean she isn't one of the biggest names in the cable game right now. Like most in America she got her start behind the boat but quickly switched to riding cable in Atlanta, Georgia at Terminus Wake Park. Learning to ride with the best in the world, almost turning down a Red Bull event invite, finger injuries, contest prep, helmet ticks, boat riding, shooting content, and traveling the world as a girl.

This week on the PurrPodcast, we're thrilled to host Dr. Pamala Jones, a medical radiation oncologist with an impressive career journey. We'll be diving into all things cats, pickleball, and wakeboarding—because naturally, the question arises: do cats play pickleball or wakeboard? (Spoiler: the jury's still out.)We'll also chat about the shocking lack of cat news at veterinary conferences and hear about Pam's fascinating transition from herd health to companion animals, ultimately becoming a veterinary oncologist. After building a thriving practice, she took on a new challenge in pharmaceutical development. Tune in as she shares her career evolution and insights into the world of veterinary pharma!

Tom Fooshee was coined by Scott Byerly himself as the "King of Cable", and Tom has the resume to back it up. Getting started in in Texas waterskiing behind the boat, Tom didn't even start riding the cable until many years later when TSR opened. Tom is an eccentric and passionate rider who still follows the sport closely to this day, and has managed to stay in the industry after his professional career came to an end. The Debut, Wakeboarding with Jamie O'Brien, Texas football, contests, signing with Liquid Force, boat vs. cable, winning ROTY, and almost killing a swan while riding.

Gavin Stuckey is easily one of the biggest names in cable wakeboarding right now, meaning one of the Stuckey brothers is an odds on favorite to win just about every contest they enter. However, Gavin has separated himself from his brother Trent in both his riding style as well as the videos he puts out. After having an incredible 2023 season, the rumors started swirling whether or not Gavin would leave the brand he has been with his entire career, Ronix. After some back and forth, Gavin ended up moving over to Liquid Force, and we dive into the “why” behind that decision. We're also talking Gavin's early influences, Points Chase, the Stuckey custom Unit feature, Status, Grounded, his relationship with his brother, competitive mindset, and how the Stuckey's afford to travel throughout the year.

It would be hard to argue that anyone single person has done more for the sport of wakeboarding, both on the water and off, than Parks Bonifay. You can tell he lives, eats, and breathes this lifestyle, and it shows. Parks was the youngest person to ever waterski, invented several tricks, filmed tons of video parts, won even more contests, and has pushed the boundaries of what is possible on a wakeboard. While a lot of riders might step away from the scene as they end their riding career, Parks has embraced the sport, continuing to keep up with the evolution of wakeboarding. You can feel the passion in his voice when he speaks about riding, Parks is truly a gem in the watersports industry. Ski baby, ugly board graphics, Byerly, knee injuries, getting banned from the masters, MTV cribs, Jackass, video parts, barefooting behind an F1 car, Ronix, Wakelab, and the future of the sport.

Back to back weeks with wakeskaters on the pod? You're damn right. T.J. has been around the wakeskate scene for what feels like forever. Getting started wakeboarding behind a small Boston Whaler, T.J. quickly shifted to wakeskating once he realized he and his friends would need a much bigger boat if they wanted continue to progress on their wakeboards. From there T.J. made the move from Miami up to Orlando to continue to entrench himself in wakeskating. Riding with the likes of Andrew Pastura and Nick Taylor T.J. has had some impressive wakeskating in his own right, including a killer section in Human Rocket. Wakeskating.com, Sfumato, blunts on a wakeboard, winch etiquette, owning spots, The Wakeskate Tour, Suwannee, and kickflipping wakeboards.

Who has won the most wakeboard contests? Who has invented the most tricks? Who has signed one of the largest contracts in wakeboardings history? The answer to all of those questions is Darin Shapiro. Darin got started in watersports before wakeboarding as we know it was even a thing. Starting at the cable, Darin took countless laps on a trick ski, and barefooting, but it wasn't until “ski boarding” came around that he really started to find some success. Darin was flown out by Herb O'Brien to a contest in Hawaii in 1991, and from there Darins journey in the sport began and had no signs of slowing down. Winning over 70 pro contests, inventing countless tricks, starring in 2 video games, signing one of wakeboardings largest contracts, the speedball, and retiring twice.

What does the future of cable riding look like in America? In this episode we sit down with the Director of Operations at Aktion Parks, Kellan Rudnicki. Kellan got into wakeboarding at Ski Rixen, after initially trying to learn how to kiteboard and getting told he needs to hit the cable to learn board control first. Once falling in love with the sport, Kellan restarted the wakeboard club at his college UCF, then took a job out of the industry after graduating. Eventually an opportunity arose to get back into cable park ops, and Kellan worked his way back into the world of wakeboarding. Indian lines, ideal cable speed, industry infighting, decline of extreme sports, wake moms, profitability of cable parks, europe vs america, ski resorts vs cable parks, and grassroots events.

Did you know Raph didn't hit a single feature in his first 6 months of riding? Hailing from the Philippines, Raph Trinidad got his start riding at a cable where the depth ranged from 6 inches to 8 feet deep, depending on the tide. After choosing wakeboarding over soccer, Raph dedicated his life to being one of the best riders, and now has some of the cleanest and most powerful air tricks in the game.

Ready for 4 hours and 20 minutes of one of wakeboardings most passionate riders? Quinn Silvernale helps run one of the most unique and progressive wake parks in the world, Valdosta Wake Compound. Getting started wakeboarding behind the boat on a lake in Minnesota, Quinn knew he loved it. After highschool Quinn attended college at Valdosta State University in Georgia, and that's where he began to winch much more. From ditches to ponds, Quinn and his friends rode just about everything you could. After more inspiration, him and his roommate Luke Tilt drafted up a business plan to open their own cable park, starting with a couple 2 tower systems, eventually turning into what we have today. Playing football, X Games beef, Lucas Magoon inspo, $800,000 in pool liners, flooding a boat show, sketchy rails, winching vs. cable riding, and what it takes to run a wakepark.

Dean Smith is a former professional wakeboarder from Australia, and has been known for being on a short list of riders who truly go "big". Dean got a later start than most when getting into wakeboarding, and never truly grew up with a consistent coach, rather just riding with friends and occasionally heading to ride at Black Diamond. After a somewhat surprising win at the Asian X-Games, Dean's career started to takeoff. Crashing a car and boat in one year, getting cut by his boat sponsor, P.E.D's, beef with Phil Soven, video parts, the future of contests, Wakestock, and retiring on his own volition.
