    Full length projects are back and absolutely better than ever, but these projects don’t happen without a dedicated, motivated, and dialed crew, today we sit down with a few of the guys behind Singularity. Gathered at Hexa Jam, Luiz Batista, Pedro Caldas, and Beni Bodoki represent current wakeboarding at its most beautiful form, all with their own unique take on it. We are chatting Spicy, PPV movies, Singularity, beers and filming, ciggies and filming, Hexa Jam, up and comers, and some very special guest questions from Luke Carrick and Matty Muncey.

    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 Schoepp | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 113

    Jack Schoepp is what you call the “boot guy” at Square One, but he didn’t get there by just being an engineer with a fascination for footwear. 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!
