Keaton Bowlby

Age: 21

Current Residence Reno, NV.

Favorite place to ride: Hidden Lake, NV.

Favorite pro to watch: Andrew Pastura.

Best winch spot you’ve been to recently: I was down in San Diego with Walton and Reed a couple weeks ago and they have this sweet little gem called “picnic spot 2.” It’s pretty small but they put a rail down it. No bust and you get to hang out with bums all day!

Latest Trick you’ve learned: Switch flips

Trick you want to learn: Switch heelflips

Mgap--she's heavy and the boulders that lie just below the surface aren't so nice either. Keaton charges, Back 180.

Favorite place to eat: There is this little produce market that has a burger shop connected to it called Ikeda’s in Auburn, California. It is pretty much heaven.

Favorite wakeskate video: More than Machines… Or I could keep it classy and say Esoteric or Fun Boots. Pretty much any video with that crew of dudes will be amazing.

Hobbies as of late: With the foot of snow in my backyard and my lake frozen over, I don’t get to wakeskate much over the winter unless I travel. So my life consists of skateboarding downtown and hitting some rails on my snowboard.

Warming up in these frigid waters was far from fun. Ollie out.

Namedrawp: I would like to thank my mom and dad because they helped me out from day one. I’d like to thank Jim at DVS, Chris at Straight Line, Ryan from Pulldozer, Ryan at Anenberg, and of course the crew I grew up riding with–the hidden lake loko’s. Also, I want to give a special shout out to Austin Watts for always helping me out and supporting me with his shop, The Liquid Playground. No matter how hard the times are, that guy always has a positive attitude and lives and breathes wakeskating. If anyone is out in San Jose, California stop by his shop and say hey!
