SAM CARNE


I’ve only known Sam for a little bit, don’t know too much, but what I do know I like and he rips!  I asked him to give me a couple ideas to go on to write something for his profile but I don’t think I could say it any better than he did, so here it is.  Welcome to the team Sam.    -Greg Nelson, Team Manager
                     

I've been on the water since I was about 6 years old but started Wakeboarding about 12 years ago. I grew up riding on a ski boat with my brother on weekends.  My Dad was a classical skier and got us hooked at a young age.  All in all it’s been a massive part of my life for a long time, I can never get enough.  I'm just as stoked on riding as I was when I first stepped on the water.  I love all aspects of it and try to mix it up and keep it fun and fresh; boat, cable, winch, system 2.....whatever is available.  I've been fortunate enough to travel all around the world with Wakeboarding.  It’s probably my favorite perk of doing what I do.... exploring various countries and cultures.  I've been coming to Orlando for the past 5 years enjoying the wakes, lakes & cakes, then returning to England/Europe for our summer season.  It’s a little challenging getting consistent water time back home in sunny England......conditions can be often very temperamental but it's always refreshing going home and seeing all the riders foaming at the mouth to get back on the water after winter.     –Sam Carne
