Emily is a serious competitor with a stringent workout routine and a definite drive to constantly improve and ride her best. That drive often translates into strong competition finishes such as tying for first overall with Dallas Friday on the 2004 Pro Wakeboard Tour. In 2005, she moved from Texas to Orlando to train with other pro riders.

If anyone can interrupt Dallas Friday's quest to re-peat gold in '04, it is Emily Copeland Durham. Emily is a 4-time PWT champion, including 2004 when she tied with Friday for the honor. She has every title in women's wakeboarding including X Games gold ('02), Gravity Games gold ('03, '02), Malibu Open ('02), Masters ('02) and VTC overall champ ('01). She got married in July 2003 and is concentrating exclusively on wakeboarding in '04.

Emily continues to step up her game every time she hits the water and usually finds herself on the contest podium.
