How long have you been riding and how did you get into the sport?

I’ve been wakeboarding for about 13 years now, I got into wakeboarding at the age of 6, my parents used to waterski so it pretty much started from there.

What is La familia?

I would say la familia is just the start of something that is already currently happening, we just a group of friends riding and making a couple memories I guess.
