    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!

    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 | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 110

    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.
