2021 Wake Awards: Full Scope Female Finalists

From boat riding to rails, these finalists did it all this past year.

The Full Scope Award was created to honor the best all-around rider in wakeboarding – the rider who doesn’t just ride every kind of pull, but who excels in all of them. These riders not only do that, but they push the boundaries of what’s possible on a wakeboard every time they ride, no matter what they’re riding behind.
