Shaun Murray – where it all started – Interview
Shaun Murray has been one of the most important people to ever enter the wakeboarding world. Growing up, he was one of my favourite riders, and it was the same for thousands and thousands of others. He has board control like nobody else and is also a true gentleman. In this podcast we talk about everything from his introduction to the sport, to his playstation game. I hope you enjoy this podcast and thanks for watching. Details

Since Covid -19 has become worse and worse, and a huge amount of the world is on lockdown, I decided instead of not uploading any YouTube videos or vlogs, that I would instead do some podcast/interview style videos. I hope you enjoy them. Details

Q & A – is wakeboarding my job?
As it’s the off-season right now and it’s freeing cold – too cold to wakeboard in Ireland at the moment, I decided I’d record a Questions and answers video covering a few topics like: Is wakeboarding my job, who is my favourite wakeboarder, some trick tips, safety tips, my dream location to wakeboard, plans for the season ahead and even the possibility of inventing a trick. I hope you enjoy the video. David Details

Back to basics-Wakeboarding
So I decided that the best thing for me would be to go back to basics, work on the easy tricks and on getting more pop. One awful set down I wasn’t sure, but the 2nd set I saw a lot of progress. Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching. David

Happy New Year!
2019 was pretty crazy. Definitely had a few bumps along the road, some days that gave me a few grey hairs but at the same time some massive MASSIVE goals were reached both on and off the water, as well as professionally and personally. Plans for next year are to stay healthy, travel a little less frequently, wakeboard more (WAY MORE), grow my little business ‘Making Waves Media’, and most importantly stay smiling…. Kicking off 2020 with a huuuge announcement tomorrow.
Thanks for the love and support. Have a great year ❤️ Details

Sometimes I think there’s a lot to be said for going back to basics and giving some easy tutorials. This is to try to help you understand some tips and kind of ‘cheats’ to taking the turns and corners on a full size cable park. I hope you find this helpful. David Details

World Beach Games, Doha
A rollercoaster of a day 😂
I genuinely surprised myself with my wakeboarding today. Everything just clicked and fell into place. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite enough to get through to finals. However, I can definitely walk away happy as I did the best that I could have imagined (if not better 😂). Congratulations to Italy’s Massi Piffaretti for taking the Gold! Details

Zeminar, Dublin 2019
Yesterday was a pretty savage day 🤘🏻. I had the opportunity to go up on stage and talk about how having a 2nd language (French) has been of benefit to me throughout my career.
It was also pretty crazy to share the stage with two incredible people and speakers – Paddy Hooligan and Kate Slattery and I definitely got some inspiration from them too!
It was my first time public speaking but it’s definitely something I’d like to do more of. Massive thanks to Languages Connect for having me 👊🏻😊
