Episode 03: Scot Ferwerda

Scot Ferwerda is a husband, father, and an O.G. of wakeboarding in the state of Michigan. Getting his start behind the boat, he quickly realized his passion for watersports, and specifically wakeboarding. Once he started progressing his riding he became fascinated with the sport and wanted to taking his wakeboarding more seriously. Scot moved to Orlando to pursue his passion under the guise of a "college degree" and began really pushing himself. A severe back injury coupled with an innovative new way to ride (Sesitec System 2.0) led him to forge his own path in the industry, which was opening up his own wake park. From there his partnership with Action Water Sports continued to grow, and he helped create the first full size cable park in the state of Michigan. We talk about all this, and more in episode 3 of the Grab Matters Podcast.
