Following a rigorous two hours of on-water fun the students sat down to a chat with professional Wakeboarder Lex Balladon. Lex is an ambassador for the sport and now coaches, writes, models and films all whilst being a busy mum of two young boys and running her own business – ‘Wake Daze’.
Lex talked the group through how she got in to the world of wakeboarding – working tirelessly through the summer during A-Levels and then working and studying for a year in California as part of her American Studies degree. She has worked in the board-sports industry for well-known brands such as Billabong, Burton Snowboards and Nalu Beads. She is the current Masters National Champion and her best world ranking was 8th in the 2008 Open Women competition.
