    In the latest episode of The Water Skier magazine’s Hit It! Podcast, presented by Visit Central Florida, Ball of Spray founder and curator John Horton joins host Tyler Boyd. An accomplished water skier in his own right, John’s greatest contribution to the sport he loves is the community building online powerhouse, BallOfSpray. The website continues to serve as both a warehouse of ideas and the sport’s virtual water cooler for discussions on techniques, tournaments and gear. This episode is sponsored by Radar Skis.

    Brooks Wilson was the brand manager of one of the biggest waterski brands in the industry, Radar. We sit down and talk with Brooks about his recent decision to leave that position and venture out on his own to start a business here in Florida. Before Brooks worked for Radar, he was a professional waterskier and has had a tremendous impact on waterskiing, and watersports as a whole. From basically learning to ski with legend Wade Cox to coaching at The Boarding School alongside industry icon Travis Moye, among others. Winching on a waterski, Wilson Bros, contests vs freeskiing, the best selling waterski, being a brand manager, Radar Lake, and skiing in a frozen lake. Hear all that and much more in Episode 65 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
