Episode 62: Chase Heavener
He was given a 1 stop ban on the pro tour for hitting a pine cone with a wiffle ball bat? Chase Heavener is a former professional wakeboarder from Orlando, Florida, and has been around since the early days of the sport. Seeing it progress from "trick ski" style riding to where the sport is today has been a wild ride, and a ride that Chase had some influence in. When he got into the sport, he didn't feel as though the current contest landscape represented his crews style of riding, or their vision for the sport, and some feathers were ruffled in the pursuit of change. After his riding career, Chase went behind the scenes and helped create some of wakeboarding's most iconic videos. Getting banned from Wakeboarding Mag, the New Crew, running a 5 minute mile, Neptune, sinking a boat 4 times, and the current media landscape. Hear all that and much more in Episode 62 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
