39 - ZAHRA KELL & EUGE DE ARMAS - BONIFAY BANTER

Parks and Shane are joined by some of the best female wakeboarders in the world, Zahra Kell and Euge De Armas, just before Stop 2 of the Pro Wakeboard Tour. (This episode was recorded before the event and released afterward.) Since then, Euge has gone on to win the stop and now sits at the top of the Pro Tour points standings!

The girls stop by the Banter Studio for an awesome conversation covering everything from career-defining moments to life growing up on opposite sides of the world.

In this episode, the crew talks about:

🏆 Euge's journey to the top of professional wakeboarding and what has her riding better than ever

🩼 Zahra's crash on a ts 9 that tweaked her knee a little but not to worry, she will back on it in no time 

🇦🇺 Growing up wakeboarding in Australia with Zahra

🇦🇷 Euge's upbringing in Argentina and how her older sister inspired her to start riding

💥 Some of their biggest crashes and the lessons they've learned along the way

🎥 Shane's memories of filming with them on Liquid Force trips in Australia, Lake Powell, and all over the world

⏸️ Zahra's decision to step away from riding for two years and what ultimately brought her back to the sport

The conversation is full of laughs, old stories, and great insight into what it takes to compete at the highest level. It was awesome having both of these incredible athletes back in the studio, and even better seeing the women's side of the sport continuing to grow and push wakeboarding forward.

Congratulations again to Euge on her Pro Tour victory, and best of luck to Zahra as she will be back for the next Pro tour.
