My name is Kaesen Suyderhoud, I'm 19 years old and I am from Lake Shasta, California. I am a profesional wakeboarder and I have been wakeboarding for the past 7 years now but I have been skiing and involved in watersports since I was a 1 1/2 years old. I love everything from hanging out and riding with my friends, camping and making trips, filming and photo shoots, contests and judging, to coaching wakeboarding. I just cant get enough of being out on the water and doing it all. In the summer of 2005 I competed in the JR MEN'S division on the pro tour. I only did the first stop of the tour due to the lack of funds I had to keep going with all the traveling. I did very well considering the heats I was put in but it wont be the last time I compete on the pro tour. I am all about style on the water and everything I do I try to poke out and make it look good and easy. My goal this year for 2007 is to land a section in a video so I can get my name and style out there a little more cause in my eyes it is more important to have a sweet video section than a stand up pass in a contest. I am also the type of rider that loves to be on the water everyday goofing off and having fun but progressing at the same time. I think it is very important in this sport to push yourself at your own speed and have fun with it because whithout fun there is no true progression or point.
