Wake Wars 2009 Riders

Clayton Underwood
Indiana

Clayton likes to ride a piece of fiberglass around behind a boat.  He thinks it's really fun...and if you don't wakeboard you probably should start.   He is a rider from the Mid-West.  Wakeboarding to Clayton is a lot of things... a form of self-expression through riding... it is a release and a way to get away from everything, as well as a way to have fun with friends.  It is more than just a hobby, it is a lifestyle.
