Summary

Lets keep it real... This Canadian is no stranger anymore. Since he has moved into the pro wakeboard scene he has made his mark. We all know that he absolutely annihilates the slider contest and freeride’s like no other. Rathy has also been working hard for the new Oakley video that is about to release called "Push Process". One more thing, in case you didn’t know; he is about to land a 1080, he is so close with two fingers on the handle every time. He is still very young and a force to be reckoned with.
