Is This the Future of Wakeboarding? - Beyond Perception w/ Raph Derome

9 жыл бұрын►Let the shredding continue: win.gs/Wakkkecation
As they say, it's is all in the eye of the beholder. People see what they want to see based on what they know… or at least what they think they know.
And like anything, people have different perceptions of Raph Derome. As a guy that prefers to keep a low profile living the life of a self-described introvert, it's sometimes difficult to express who he really is to those around him. That's why Raph lets his wakeboarding speak for him.
With an endless drive and dedication to wakeboarding, Raph is truly in it for the love of the game. Never quite satisfied, riding to him is about the constant pursuit of progression and evolving his own unique vision of the sport.
Two years in the making, Raph's latest video project is the product of a tireless effort to capture the soul of the sport and a visual declaration to the masses that there is much more to wakeboarding beyond contests. Presented by Red Bull Media House in partnership with Billabong and Malibu Boats, the journey takes Raph on a trip to some of his favorite spots including Florida, his home province of Quebec and a big-city shred at Toronto's Ontario Place.
Check it out, it just might change your view.

I showed this video to my father, the first man to ever ride a wakeboard in South America. It wasn't even called wakeboard, and I can't remember the name. The board was (is, still have it) shaped in a similar fashion to a surfboard, but way bigger and bulkier. And there were no boots, just straps. He told me how him and his friends didn't know how to even get on the board, so they had to lunch laying down like in a normal surfboard and when the boat was going fast enough, they would proceed to stand up and get the straps on. He brought the board from a friend in cali. He is in his 60's now, and when I show him all these videos he gets more amazed at the progression of the sport he fomented. I've got pictures of him riding that board on an old boat, and another picture of the first jump made with that board. And then there's me, a selfish fuck riding on a friend's mastercraft, trying to get another 180 to my 720's, trying to land the so fucking impossible double backflip, or adding a salad grab to my tantrum. I LOVE WAKEBOARDING. And seeing it progress this much gets me to my heart, as I feel that i'm part of the soul of it, and it's history runs through my veins. Love you pa, love you watersports. You will be the things that i'll miss the most if they get away from me

blackhatch46 It's wake boarding. Of course they have to have a backstory, because otherwise nobody would give a fuck. Red bull has been making a valiant attempt at giving this sport a backbone, and the only way to do that, is to get people excited by the athletes. Think about it this way: When the public thinks about a sport, they bring up a face with it. Skateboarding = Tony Hawk, Snowboarding = Sean White, Hockey = Wayne Gretzky, etc. Even less popular sports like Lacrosse and Cricket have big names with stories behind them. What does wake boarding have? Millions of people laughing at the legitimacy of calling it a professional sport, that's what. Point being, it's easier to get people to be excited for a sport when they're rooting for someone as opposed to not rooting for anyone in particular. It's the difference between watching a Rodney Mullen highlight and a compilation video of no names doing the exact same tricks.

@MAVA1686 7 жыл бұрын
It is not a good end for you Man... At least you had $7k ... Here is a good advice for the rockies ... use a motorcycle helment when you are riding the snowboard normally or on a rail.... and then you will be a pro and then you can take the helment or if you prefer it just keep it.... Peace :D
