Ryan Doyle rode for all the brands, and did all the things, so why dont you remember his name?

Tanar Pigrenet | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 121
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.

Euge De Armas | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 117
We can’t tell if Euge is known more for her double flip, or her contagious laughter and infectious positive energy, which you’ll see both on and off the water. Euge is a prime example of someone who truly loves wakeboarding, and seemingly everything that comes with it. Initially she really only went to contests to see her friends rather than really focus on winning, and while this strategy may seem unique, its seemed to pay off for her. 2nd place at PWT #1, the double flip, growing up in Argentina, how to actually say her name, keeping a positive mindset, being on a Netflix show, and ignoring a dm from Red Bull.

Nicklas Dorfer | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 116
Nicklas Dorfer is not afraid to speak his mind about his thoughts on wakeboarding. Right or wrong, good or bad, Nicklas is as passionate about riding as they come, and his actions match his words. Having been behind the camera for edits, live event production, and in front of it riding too, Nicklas has always been motivated to get what he wants to get done, done. Now that he’s gotten a bit older, some of the hot takes have been replaced with uni courses, but rest assured, not all of them. Hexa Jam, growing up in Langenfeld, moving to Triolago, ideal events, Spicy, beef with OG’s, the next gen, and how to stand out in a sea of riders.

Hannah Littlefield | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 114
Wakeboarding is small, winching is an even smaller part of that, and Hannah got into both within quick succession of one another. What happens when you get invited to go winching but can’t really ollie yet? You go to the cable and learn. Hannah Littlefield is a great example of someone who doesn’t get lost in the details of boarding, as seen by some of her riding setups over the years. Broken binding? Open toe rental boots at a winch spot? Board not waxed? No problem. Winching before you’re honed, living at Elevated, being a girl in a boys club, ZMT films, print mags, being Gibbys big sister, and running your own business.

Jack is a lifelong wakeboarder, and a damn good one at that. Getting his start in the midwest Jack knows how to milk the most out of the Wisconsin riding season. The expensive boat myth, college wake scene, Fort Fremont, competition in the boot space, getting the job with square one, and boat brand CULTure.

Nick Davies | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 112
Nick Davies is a wakeboarder who does not care what you think of his riding, and that's not in a pretentious way, its simply in a “I’m having more fun than you can imagine” way, and its refreshing. Getting started on cables with little to no features Nick mastered the art of air tricks and developed a playful and bouncy style on the water. The 2009 World Championships, pink helmets, turning pro, a heavy knee injury, riding on broken boards, The Debut, and retiring while still having a passion for riding. We’re talking all that and much more in Episode 112 of the Grab Matters Podcast with Nick Davies! Follow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickdaviesdo1/ Thank you to this shows sponsors!

J.K. Mullins | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 111
When it comes to boat riding, J.K. Mullins is a breath of fresh air. If the boat is pulling him forward he is doing something with his board and the water, downtime doesn’t exist for J.K. Hailing from Tennessee and combining his snowboard roots with his variety of watersports past has led J.K. to approach his riding differently than most. Almost getting a gun pulled on you by a fisherman, sock tech, bare footing, kink rails, park crew, EMT stories, less than 5, FatSac shoots, and the eternal debate between snowboarding and wakeboarding.

Max Van Helvoort is on a short list of elite talent when it comes to riding both a wakeboard (cable/boat/winch) and a snowboard. In an episode that isn’t short of energy, or laughs, we chat with him about Japan grabs, the triple rodeo, the wakeboard “double cork”, finding crack in his room, O’Brien, winching, contests, TOTY, injuries, and how he has recently shifted his mindset and is truly enjoying riding again.
