Touch the Water : The new opus of the Russian wakeskate crew under the lens of Artem Hazov …

We just made an article of  Artem few years ago this is what he said !

What comes to your mind first when you hear the word “Russia”?
Mr. Putin, vodka, bears? But these things don’t nearly define what Russia is.
To me, Russia is all about determination.

Today I want to pay tribute to the Russian daredevils, that got together to do the impossible.
Some people believe that thoughts are material, and that those who share the same passion will inevitably attract like-minded people.

This way, me as a videographer i came up with an idea to make a film about wakeskating. It was May 2019, wakeskating season was at its peak.
However, there was just one problem – you could count local wakeskaters on the fingers of one hand. Literally.So, what was next? The work on our scenario, search for sponsors and locations took longer than we expected.
Wakeskating season was heading towards its end since the water would soon freeze. Most wakeskaters usually go on training in some places warmer, but not the Russians.
ShoreLab. was looking for new wakeskate team and our guys took the call and ShoreLab. provided them with #JamTank winch. And then something unexpected happened

We were blessed with the warmest winter ever in the history of St Petersburg with monthly average temperature of +4C against the standard -15C. That was it.
They just got their wetsuits, their #JamTank winches and went on to find amazing spots to do the thing they’re best at.
Well, I guess the photos speak for themselves. Mind that the water temperature was just +3C!
For me, that was just another reminder that we’re not so different after all.
I believe now that if you’re passionate about what you’re doing, you’ll always find someone as crazy as you

Someone who would be willing to ride in freezing water and someone who’d be ready to capture it.

On the words of Daniel Grant :

The past 10 years have been absolutely Surreal,like looking back to when i’d fly to over 30 contests a year i’d literally be non Stop. I’ve met some really amazing people from all over the world, it’s really been the best 10 years of my Life, i can’t thank everyone and the sport enough for the opportunity and support to express myself on the water .

It’s been a decade full of experiences , learning, laughing, crying, screaming, it’s been one hell of a ride

Wakeboarder Jules Charraud took advantage of the return of sunny days to take his followers around France. On his wakeboard, he rides the most beautiful tricolor landscapes that he has compiled in 3 videos available on Redbull France Instagram Channel

The 21-year-old from Toulouse left to tour the most beautiful French landscapes, to make three videos, titled Tours and Detours, posted on social networks. Jules Charraud using his portable winch, went to discover French heritage, to ride on the Seine, to the Château de Chantilly via Mont-Saint-Michel. “I really wanted to do a big project with this concept of wakeboarding in somewhat unusual places,” explains the Toulouse resident. The goal is to show people around France in a different way. ”

Watch the  whole videos of his week full of adventures

First Episode: Chantilly Castle

Second Episode : the Etretat Cliffs

Third Episode : the Mont Saint Michel !

Exceptional spots

From the foot of the Eiffel Tower in the middle of the salt marshes, the favorite spot of the French wakeboarder on his “Tour de France”, was the Château de Chantilly. “It was really magical, the setting is incredible,” says Jules Charraud. They spent the day there and they took pictures from right to left, they were never bored. A representative of the castle followed us and advised us on the site. Big thanks to him that I was able to ride in the moat. ”

The project required a lot of upstream work from the wakeboarder and his team, especially for the selection of places. For the spots, two criteria: visual and aesthetic spots and performance spots, but it is still necessary to succeed in obtaining all the authorizations. “It’s a must, it would be a shame to make pirate spots for the end not to be able to post the video,” explains Jules. But in general we didn’t have too many difficulties, for example in Romorantin, the mayor only asked us to “watch out for the ducks! “

About Jules

French prodigy Jules Charraud is the future of wakeboarding. In 2019, he finished 2nd in FISE. He has a clear goal in mind: “I want to improve myself and become the best in my discipline one day.” Jules Charraud started wakeboarding in Cergy, in Val-d’Oise, when he was 10 years old.

A good idea according to James Windsor, triple World Champion and legend of the discipline: “Jules is one of the riders with the most potential on this planet. He has a super complete ride technique. “A dubbing that Jules Charraud was keen to comment on:” He’s my idol, and that makes me extremely happy.

I have had the opportunity to meet him several times. “The duo also have a common sponsor, which allowed the student to receive advice from the master:” even on a simple video shoot, he gives me tips and teaches me a lot. ” On the career side, Jules Charraud wants to take his time, but with a clear goal in mind: “I want to improve myself and become the best in my discipline one day. Which shouldn’t be long.

In 2019, the prodigy notably finished 2nd at the FISE in Montpellier. Passionate about design and tattooing, this amateur guitarist who lives in a caravan on his homespot at La Source, near Toulouse, perfectly embodies the wakeboard spirit.

Graeme Burress LandLOCKED …

While INSIGHT was receiving accolades and honors at the end of 2019 Graeme Burress was in a Philippines hospital looking at a rough x-ray.

He broke his arm which required multiple surgeries and almost six months of recovery. It’s a tough way to begin any season but Graeme has battled through tougher circumstances.

During his downtime he focused on developing his new pro model shape, the Blacklist, and mapping out everywhere he wanted to ride in 2020. Then Covid hit and flipped the switch yet again.

Graeme has been residing in Austin, TX, close to fellow Hyperlite team rider, JB O’Neill and the two of them hatched this idea to just load up the Prius and drive to every park they could.

Luckily for the two of them, master drone pilot and content creator Dave Averillo, or Dave AV, was stuck in Orlando with nothing to do. They found him a $23 airfare so they could all meet at The Levee Wake Park outside Dallas where they’d spend a couple weeks filming as Graeme was finally able to jump back on his board. From there the crew moved from wake park to wake park, winching along the way and capturing everything they could for Graeme’s LandLOCKED edit.

This edit is a continuation of where Graeme left off after INSIGHT, full of hammers, first-ever and gnarly stunts. 2020 was an unexpected season for us all, but according to Graeme, maybe being landlocked isn’t that bad and maybe it was just what he needed so he could focus on his wake boarding while visiting 13 parks throughout the US.

LandLOCKED !

WAKESKATE SESSIONS on the words of Daniel GRANT

I hope you have all enjoyed #10yearsofTao, it’s surely been an adventure for me, with so many great experiences, which would never have been possible without the support from my sponsors. Rip Curl International in particular have played a big part in the last 10 years, initially supporting me as a 11 year old GROM with podium incentives. From 2015 they also financially supported most of my video projects. Without the support of Rip Curl, almost all of my projects would not have happened. At the start of this year, Rip Curl International decided that they can no longer support me, as they concentrate their marketing budget on Surf.

That decision was made, after I had already planned my 2020 season projects. This happened before the global impact of Covid-19. One project was a winch trip in Sri Lanka. I already flew to Sri Lanka and found many unique spots, but sadly have had to cancel this project for the time being. Ten Years of TAO, Podiums and SK8, for 2020, I still committed to. I had already asked Andy before Rip Curl International dropped me.

I wanted to end my 10 year journey, celebrating with something special and finishing with a bang ! Without support from Rip Curl International, the following edits would not have been possible.

Tao – Brandon Thomas Eclipse – Andy Kolb The Grom Sessions – Andy Kolb The Search – Andy Kolb X-Games Real Wake – Brandon Thomas Podiums – Andy Kolb Sk8 -AndyKolb Sadly, I will not be able to commit to any video projects in the immediate future, as I look for new sponsors. I am pleased to say that Rip Curl / Thailand, will continue to support me locally in Thailand, in much less exclusive way. I

will be discussing with them, on a case by case basis about potential local projects and hope while I am more locally based, I can help grow the sport in this region. Thank You everyone who has supported and helped me thoughout the years! As we say goodbye to the last 10 years, I look forward to what the next 10 will bring. Thanks for all the support – RipCurl Thailand Liquid Force THAI WAKE PARK WAXTHAT GoPro Sesitec UNIT Parktech and everyone else who has helped and supported any projects in the past!
