Episode 53: Dean Smith
Dean Smith is a former professional wakeboarder from Australia, and has been known for being on a short list of riders who truly go "big". Dean got a later start than most when getting into wakeboarding, and never truly grew up with a consistent coach, rather just riding with friends and occasionally heading to ride at Black Diamond. After a somewhat surprising win at the Asian X-Games, Dean's career started to takeoff. Crashing a car and boat in one year, getting cut by his boat sponsor, P.E.D.'s, beef with Phil Soven, video parts, the future of contests, Wakestock, and retiring on his own volition. Hear all that and so much more in Episode 53 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
