Erik Ruck has been around wakeboarding since its second iteration, and he has had countless video parts and won enough contests to solidify himself as a legend. His opinions are rooted purely in what he thinks is best for wakeboarding, nothing else. We have him back in the booth for another solo episode after we initially chatted with him in Episode 9, before we knew what the hell we were doing. We chat with Ruck about the recent contest Buzzer Beater (no, this isn't an ad, we just thought the contest was that sick), as well as what we feel is a resurgence of momentum towards wakeboarding as a whole.

On a special, and very different episode, today we sit down with 2 of the owners of Shape Obstacles,  Erich Bscheider and Michael Schwab. We dive into the history of Shape, the transition of ownership, and what sets them apart from other feature manufacturers. From materials to design to the team, Michael and Erich touch on the legacy of Shape as well as the future direction of the brand. As a bonus, we also welcome in Massi Piffaretti, Jamie Lopina, Pat Panakos, and Jackson Kaufman, as they swap out about halfway through the pod to talk about the new improvements being made to Nona, including a bunch of new Shape features coming to the park.

Ryan Doyle rode for all the brands, and did all the things, so why dont you remember his name? Well, in his own words, he might have been the most forgettable wakeskater there was, but it’s not for a lack of resume. Pro model shoes and wakeskates, hitting down rails others only dream of hitting, living at the projects, wakestock, filming for transgression, kampus, and leaving wakeskating to start a family and build a backyard wake park.

Tanar Pigrenet went all but completely quiet when it came to being in the wakeboard world, but that didn’t come after years and years of riding, traveling, and filming. Originally from Texas Tanar got started riding at 16, and blew his knee out on a tantrum pretty early on, but that didn’t deter him from diving fully into the scene when the opportunity arose. Few ride with as much passion as Tanar does, and it shows on the water. Getting started riding in Texas, moving to California, getting shot with a nerf dart need in the…, family life, what happened with the noodle, sobriety, getting into the fight game, and the west coast influence.
