►Let the shredding continue: win.gs/Wakkkeca...
As they say, it's is all in the eye of the beholder. People see what they want to see based on what they know… or at least what they think they know.
And like anything, people have different perceptions of Raph Derome. As a guy that prefers to keep a low profile living the life of a self-described introvert, it's sometimes difficult to express who he really is to those around him. That's why Raph lets his wakeboarding speak for him.
With an endless drive and dedication to wakeboarding, Raph is truly in it for the love of the game. Never quite satisfied, riding to him is about the constant pursuit of progression and evolving his own unique vision of the sport.
Two years in the making, Raph's latest video project is the product of a tireless effort to capture the soul of the sport and a visual declaration to the masses that there is much more to wakeboarding beyond contests. Presented by Red Bull Media House in partnership with Billabong and Malibu Boats, the journey takes Raph on a trip to some of his favorite spots including Florida, his home province of Quebec and a big-city shred at Toronto's Ontario Place.

I showed this video to my father, the first man to ever ride a wakeboard in South America. It wasn't even called wakeboard, and I can't remember the name. The board was (is, still have it) shaped in a similar fashion to a surfboard, but way bigger and bulkier. And there were no boots, just straps. He told me how him and his friends didn't know how to even get on the board, so they had to lunch laying down like in a normal surfboard and when the boat was going fast enough, they would proceed to stand up and get the straps on. He brought the board from a friend in cali. He is in his 60's now, and when I show him all these videos he gets more amazed at the progression of the sport he fomented. I've got pictures of him riding that board on an old boat, and another picture of the first jump made with that board. And then there's me, a selfish fuck riding on a friend's mastercraft, trying to get another 180 to my 720's, trying to land the so fucking impossible double backflip, or adding a salad grab to my tantrum. I LOVE WAKEBOARDING. And seeing it progress this much gets me to my heart, as I feel that i'm part of the soul of it, and it's history runs through my veins. Love you pa, love you watersports. You will be the things that i'll miss the most if they get away from me

@Baker6542 9 лет назад

@DGPmotionmedia 2 года назад

The Skurfer...the first board i ever road too. Made by Tony Finn and another guy i think. which turned into Liquid Force. Now he is the North American rep for Unit Surf Pool. Good History.

@blackhatch46 9 лет назад

whats up with all the deep emotional bullshit. just ride the damn wakeboard.

@XxSuperModzxX 9 лет назад

@dunksaucerecords2712 9 лет назад

blackhatch46 It's wake boarding. Of course they have to have a backstory, because otherwise nobody would give a fuck. Red bull has been making a valiant attempt at giving this sport a backbone, and the only way to do that, is to get people excited by the athletes. Think about it this way: When the public thinks about a sport, they bring up a face with it. Skateboarding = Tony Hawk, Snowboarding = Sean White, Hockey = Wayne Gretzky, etc. Even less popular sports like Lacrosse and Cricket have big names with stories behind them. What does wake boarding have? Millions of people laughing at the legitimacy of calling it a professional sport, that's what. Point being, it's easier to get people to be excited for a sport when they're rooting for someone as opposed to not rooting for anyone in particular. It's the difference between watching a Rodney Mullen highlight and a compilation video of no names doing the exact same tricks.

@brendanownsu 9 лет назад

you're an idiot, they're talking about the style of wakeboarding... when did you ever see people doing urban on a wakeboard 5 years ago? almost never. this is the new norm in wakeboarding so yes this is the future of wakeboarding.

@DJsteezin 9 лет назад

Brendan P Im glad you can see into the future lol mellow out man and enjoy the ride. style is riding in a way that feels good to you.

@jimbocee6149 9 лет назад

Brendan P no sir, youre an idiot. If this is what everyone is doing then it is the PRESENT. And to me, this looks no different than any other wake boarding video. Sorry not everyone wastes as much time watching them as your dumb ass. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I firmly believe wakeboarding that actually involves wakes is by far superior and more entertaining..... however, that. Was. Impressive.

@hybby 9 лет назад

I agree :) It's almost as if wakeboarding in a water & rail park oughta have a different name... since there are no wakes being boarded.

@AmazingGriffin 9 лет назад

hybby Waterboarding?

@hybby 9 лет назад

AmazingGryphon - no, no... that's something totally different. Though that would potentially help change the public perception of that word, since it would no longer mean the other thing.

@codyhite6591 9 лет назад

the board technically still makes a wake

@ctcole77 9 лет назад

@stankent7862 9 лет назад

79 people really thumbed down this video. Tell me it was an accident. All the brutal wrecks Raph took to produce this should make people humble. This is the exact boost many of my young riders needed to reignite their original passion in wakeboardering. Kudos to Red bull for spending the money to make such a great wake flick. Keep on keepin on!

@ 5:19 that was nice. not only did he kill the trick, he had the confidence to slap the fence!

@nwbrian9697 9 лет назад

I may be showing my age but former pro wakeboarder Eric Schmaltz predicted the future of wakeboarding would be a rail and kicker style park in an issue of Wakeboarding Magazine back in 95 or so. I remember telling my sponsor years ago in 97 that they should make a wakeboard that had a nose and tail that would allow you to do skateboard style tricks like 5-0's, etc.. on. He didn't understand and thought I was crazy. With that being said, rails and kickers are the future to promote the sport. The general public can never really differentiate between the complicated inverted tricks but you see some guy jump over a huge gap and you know it's difficult.

@hybby 9 лет назад

As someone who enjoys riding behind a boat (although not having done it for a number of years), I do hope that both stay readily available. I'm sure there will still be a lot of people who will enjoy going out on a nice butter calm lake, behind a powerful boat, wind rushing through your hair.. absolutely having a blast :) Both have their place. Rails and kickers (which I have yet to do) will popularize the spot; boating will likely stay popular (and awesome) :)

@dandayley4167 8 лет назад

I was a good snowboarder at one time hitting super park and was pretty good hitting rails. It only took one small lapse and I hit my face on a rail like these and ended up with $7K in reconstructive dental work. This guy is amazing!!! So Smooth!

@MAVA1686 8 лет назад

It is not a good end for you Man... At least you had $7k ... Here is a good advice for the rockies ... use a motorcycle helment when you are riding the snowboard normally or on a rail.... and then you will be a pro and then you can take the helment or if you prefer it just keep it.... Peace :D

You no what, when i put that comment down i was going to put surfing and then i said ah forget it i don't feel like typing it again. But you are correct my friend because if there was no surfing there would be no skating.

@kindofinteresting 9 лет назад

Wakeboarding and snowboarding are suprisingly different, moving at a decent speed you also get some help from the water, as you push your back food down when you pop up the water helps to push the board back up - different when coming up the wake where extending your legs will help create height as opposed to popping on a snowboard

@katphenakatphena3980 6 лет назад

Only question are you behind a boat don’t see one or some kind of zip line rope that pulls you? It’s cool but I wouldn’t call it wake-boarding without a boat pulling you just looks awkward no boat waves around those obstacles it’s like glass water?
