This is my interview with Guenther Oka at the World Wakeboard Association Nautique National Championships in Acworth, GA in 2017. Guenther is one of the hottest young wakeboarders on the scene today and also announces at many WWA events. I am so stoked that he spent this time with me to tell me how he got started in wakeboarding and to provide advice for youngsters getting started in our sport.
You can find Guenther on Facebook at Guenther Oka and on Instagram at Guenther_oka
He won the coveted 'Check Out Award" in 2015 and pretty much dominated the contest circuit in 2016.
He's from Cincinnati, OH, proving that you don't need to be from Florida to be a great wakeboarder!
