The Only Woman to Land a 900 on the Boat | Amber Wing - Episode 49

Amber Wing is one of the most successful female wakeboarders to ever do the sport, and is still the only woman to land a 900 behind the boat. Although Amber didn’t start wakeboarding seriously until after highschool, her strong background in gymnastics allowed her to progress quickly. Making finals in her first pro tour stop, landing NBD’s, Sets in motion, Foundation for women’s wake, getting sponsors, getting dropped, progression in women’s riding, competing with a child, and retiring from wakeboarding. Hear all that and much more in Episode 49 of the Grab Matters Podcast, now streaming on all major platforms and available to watch on CZcams!

Wow! Awesome show! 2011 was a great year of Wakeboarding. Amber Wing and the other Pro woman were the reason why I watched any tournament . Any $$$ I spent on wakeboarding gear/clothes was because of them.

Long line & shorter boards, that's what I'm talking about!
