what's to know... from me
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WAKEBOARDING?
Just closed out my 4th summer. The first year I only tried it one time and I fell in love with it. I get to go most every weekend from May -Sept.
CONCERNING THE SPORT WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FUTURE?
At my age I think the answer should be nice and safe, but I really want to push what is expected of me. I have taught so many people, adults and children, the basics of the sport. Everyone I know calls me to find out what they should buy for their children. So, I guess to answer that would be to keep in the boat riding, teaching and having fun while at the same time progress my own style further than an "old lady" should be able to go.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE SPONSORED?
Again, I teach a lot of people. Not in a school way where I get paid but boats pull up and say "hey Gina. we need help over here." I have an ability to see what is correct position or when some one isn't in correct position and can verbalize it pretty good. I enjoy the looks I get because to see me in the boat I'm just another 40 something. But I think I have learned how to get pretty good air and now am adding tricks, or at least trying to style out what I do. I have not seen 1 other girl(besides a few young future rippers I'm helping now) on our lake riding so I'm it for us girls.
WHEN YOU CAN'T BE AT THE LAKE WHERE ARE YOU?
Somewhere crying!. No seriously. That's true! I am either at the lake or working. I'm an interior designer so that's like a retail job. You gotta be there to get the work. Off season brings me to my first sport - snow skiing
WHY DO YOU CALL IT YOUR FIRST SPORT?
Because I started skiing 41 years ago. It's natural for me - No thinking really involved. I had hopes of being a pro mogul skier back in the day but that was way before moguls became an Olympic sport. I was before the sports time. I still try to ski most every day before work in the winter months, which for NC is Dec through late Feb or March. Now I'm trying snowboarding and like it so far... no hard crashes yet either.!

what I'm about
Why do you like this sport?
I like that it allows freedom and creativity to do what I want.
Describe your style...
my style is really not developed yet. I haven't tried spins or inverts, YET! I have to break things down and understand the progression so self-teaching is a long, slow process.
Music?
Ha! I'm part old classic rock mixed with new alternative rock then throw in rap & hip hop brought to me by my kids.Their music is suited for fast paced sports. keeps my toes tappin'.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
train as in working out is something i do occasionally but mainly i stick to hitting the sports hard. At work I also keep in very good shape. its better than a gym membership.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I will never grow up.
