Matt has been on the water from the age 7, starting out his
career as a fully competitive Tournament Waterskier, representing
the British team for over 8 years, gaining many National titles in
the junior ranks and even a European Jump title. At the age of 15
he discovered wakeboarding and has never looked back. With solid
foundations built through his time on the water up until that
point, Wakeboarding came very naturally and in his first year of
competition won the European Junior Tour title and placed 3rd in
one of the disciplines in the Mens category. Many titles and podium
places have followed since then as well as an massive amount of
wakeboarding around the world.
Getting started in wakeboarding in '96, when the sport was in
its infancy, allowed Matt to work closely with an ever growing
industry and media who's interest in the sport just grew and grew.
From getting great sponsorship support, to working with the TV and
magazines covering wakeboarding and simply getting involved behind
the scenes wherever he could as well as pushing himself on the
water, Matt got a firm grasp on the workings of the industry from
the get go.
Now, 14 years as a professional rider, his own signature board,
a position as organiser of the Relentless UK Pro Wakeboard Tour
among other events, main commentator for every major wakeboard
event in the UK and this year has taken on a role as Marketing
Manager for Wakestock Abu Dhabi and Relentless Wakestock UK.
Alongside all this Matt has close contact the world leading
wakeboarding stars of the UK, managing a team of riders for
Relentless and Ultra Sport Europe but also gets stuck in with the
grass roots of the sport through having coached on a freelance
basis for over 10 years across the world. What little time there
may be left in the day Matt also writes for all the major wake and
watersports publications and so all of the above combined keeps him
at the forefront of everything that goes on in the UK and the world
wide wakeboard scene.
