  • About

    Daniel is an experienced competitor from Down Under. For 8 years he has been living the endless summer competing in both hemispheres year round. He is one of the top ranked riders in the world; in '04 he took the WWC World Cup and WWA World Series overall titles and in 2005 took the overall Australian Pro Tour title for the 3rd year in a row. A consistent rider who brings out his double back roll as needed, Daniel also opened his own wakeboard shop in Australia in 2005.

    Daniel is one of the most active competitive wakeboarders out there, and he has been competing professionally for almost 8 years. A native Aussie, he lives half the year in Australia and the other half in Florida. Living in endless summer has paid off, in 2004 he became the 2-time Australian Pro Tour champion. He is the only Australian ever to medal in WKB at X. He took the bronze in 2003.

    Daniel is recognized as one of the most consistent riders out on the water and continues to find a spot on the contest podium.
