[@s0urce.ow0]

This is a sick story. I have been in love with wakeboarding since I was about 10, and I first did it behind my uncle's decked out john boat with a ballast bag. I still do it when I get a chance to, but am almost 30 and have yet to be pulled behind a legit wake boat. Lol.

[@jboneill]

Oh damn! Need to get you on a boat for sure!!

[@richmahogany21]

Interesting to hear how you've grown as a person and recognise your flaws all the in the pursuit for wakeboarding greatness, you have incredible dedication to the craft and a great content creator, keep at it dude

[@jboneill]

Thanks so much!

[@allegorx58]

Voted. Good luck my bro This video made me feel soooo damn old but we have similar stories so it brought back some good memories. You’re absolutely killing the game. Take care of your body so you can keep it up.

[@matthewcollicott8076]

Great story! You got my vote

[@jboneill]

thanks homie!!!

[@wakeprojectazores]

What a great recap JB. Your story reminds me of my own, but the big difference is that I got stuck in the part of the old boat with the monster tower and the tiny wake since 2003 😊 I started following you years ago, when you actually liked one of our facebook videos when I built our winch back in 2013. Now, I’m a proud owner of a 2 tower cable system here in the islands since 2019 and you and your videos have always accompanied us throughout our journey. Thank you and keep sending it!

[@jboneill]

oh sickkk! what is your cable called?

[@wakeprojectazores]

@@jboneill It's called WPA Wake Park. It's small, but it's better than a tiny wake 😆

[@jboneill]

@@wakeprojectazores ill look it up dawggg!

You seem to be an awesome dude, wakeboarding and society thank you. Big fan from Italy

[@jboneill]

thanks so much brother!

[@duarteolim6473]

Your videos made me learn so much. Thank you for that. I would sugest more kinds of dock departure tutorials and also a simple ramp / kicker, how to.. Oh.. there is another thing. A friend of mine can depart from the roof of the cabin. I bet you can too and this would be a killer video.. just maybe advise people how dangerous it can be 😅

[@13ironmike]

Pretty funny video after I have seen it now and we met again at Waketoolz Wake Park... the unkown skinhead old rider... your first scene will be maybe one of your first changes at CWC as Boggier (unsure) was running the park setup and they changed the kickers by night to make this flip trick possible into the so called Q-Rail... I woked up on my first session with a switched toeside back 3 up to the second floor on the kicker after they change... needed to bend my knees so hard to stick it with about 40...by the way, "Motion" Boards to O'Brien is not far as well as HL.... ;-) ...and Tom Fooshee did start his international carreer with the Valhalla 33 at CWC... unlucky we realy didn't had time for a real chat.... keep calm... lovely, still enjoy riding

[@jboneill]

[@rooperahikainen7646]

@@jboneill Hie, I just visit Prague in Czeck republic last weekend with my wife and I noticed that, that place could have quite nice wakespots. So if you and Gramm are going to visit Europe next summer I would definitely like to see some spots taken from Prague. I just want to suggest this because the Dubai part was so EPIC. I can already see Gramm sipping good Czech beer on the riverside and then you on the background doing some epic Tandrum. Just food for thought. Sincerely Yours Roope R.
