O.C.

I'm a 25 year old professional Wakeboarder from Ireland. Well I was a student in UCD but then I got the chance to start living a good fun life that takes me all over the world! So obviously I took the opportunity :) 

This opportunity of this lifestyle wouldn't be possible without these 4 brands! So shout out to them!

Bahaha the music and everything makes this the best bromance ever... Foreal tho the spins over the rope had my jaw droppin

This is definitely one of those feel good YouTube videos

I watched this as I was heading to the river and didn’t even finish the video but got up FIRST TRY! So helpful!

I actually can wakeboard but i send this video to 5 friends and they are impressed and they actually learned it! Thank you and stay strong! Lads and Lassies :)

To know if someone is left foot forward or right foot forward I&#39;ve found it works best to tell them to spin around like they would when they were a kid to make themselves dizzy. From the perspective of watching from above... they spin counter clockwise - left foot forward, they spin clockwise - right foot forward. All has to do with natural frontside spin direction. Hasn&#39;t failed me yet! :)

Just some small tips that helped me .<br>When starting keep your dominant (or forward) hand in the middle of the bar and the other one right beside it. It just helps guide and turn the board towards where you want it to go

From beginner to expert riders learning tricks…. Rope length ?… Boat speeds?..    THIS AWESOME VID ADD IDEAL ROPE LENGHT, SPEEDS.

Great video and perfectly timed. I&#39;m having a back-to-basics season trying to learn all the basics I bypassed when i got really excited trying to learn bigger tricks. I&#39;m forcing myself to ride switch and learn all the 180s, not just the ones I like. This video is great to remind me what tricks to perfect. Looking forward to trying more weight on the front foot toeside as my toeside jumps can be shocking sometimes.

Hey Dave, hope all is well, wanted to ask when will you be getting back into serious boat wakeboarding again? Missing those day on the lake videos with friends, big wakes and massive tricks.

Thanks Dave, you&#39;ve helped me with many tricks over the years. Didn&#39;t know I was a heel side hero until now, but great vid now I might finally get toe side w2w

7 Easy Tricks For Beginners - Wakeboarding Tips

So I always want to try new things, and this was the obvious thing for me. 

I often hear people complaining about their wake, saying it's not big enough. I love a big wake myself, but unfortunately I don't have access to a massive wake all the time, so I'm used to riding old wake boats with medium sized boats. 

So i though, let's try do ski boat wakeboarding and find out what's possible. 

Must say, I'm shocked at what's possible!!!! Crazy!!!

Wakeboarding on a Tinny - What is possible?

I've been saying I wanted to go waekboarding on a small wake, just to show you don't need a massive wake to do hard tricks. So we were filming for the TV series 'Off The D.O.C', and they let me take some clips to use for youtube. 

All the behind the scenes footage will be available in the Show. :)

Stoked on what was actually possible! hahahah.

Wakeboarding on a Jetski - What is possible?

Hahaha. No joke one of the weirdest things I’ve done wakeboarding. Slowing the cable right down and trying to raley!! :) :) 

Actually pleasantly surprised by how good it was. And honestly, I really enjoyed the playfulness of it on the water. I think with fins it could be epic!!

Riding my Cable Board on Boat

Honestly this boat is amazing of wakeboarding and wake surfing. The shape is awesome, it's big, and plus this was all on a 7ft shallow lake which massively upsets a wake. 

All in all, I absolutely love it. 

Thanks so much to Centurion for being legends!!

Finally Getting To Ride The Centurion!!

If you're new to the sport and want to learn how to wakeboard, then these 4 steps will help you a lot. 
1. Relax 
2. Bend your knees
3. Keep your arms straight
4. Let the boat pull you up

On top of this, a top tip I have is to go to a wakeboard club/school as an instructor will be able to give you some really good advice which will speed up the learning process. Another advantage is they will have all the necessary gear which includes: 
- wakeboard
- bindings 
- rope 
- boat

I really hope this video helps you to learn wakeboarding quickly and without any bad crashes! 

Thanks so much for watching.

NEW TRICK!!! BEST DAY EVER!!!

So just as a little bonus video that we decided to film. I always wanted a Golf R and so about a year ago I sold my GTI and took the plunge for an R. After 7 or 8 months of ownership I got a really good offer on it and decided to sell it! 

I loved the Golf R and wasn't really 100% sure what to get next. Then I test drove a friends BMW M235i and loved it. It had a really raw feeling and mechanically it ticked a lot of boxes. 6 cylinder engine, manual gearbox and rear wheel drive! I headed to the UK and bought one right before the VRT hike. 

There's a little twist at the end of the video however I hope you enjoy it! 

Thanks so much for watching. 

Dave

Great to get out to Orlando and ride some big wakes, see some old friends!

How To Backroll! Easy steps!

How to 360 on a wakeboard. Instructions to learn it fast!

This was not easy 😂

For a complete change of content, myself and 3 friends are planning to cycle. from Malin head, all the way down to Mizen Head. It's from the most northerly point, to the most southerly point on our Irish Island. 

No doubt for a top level cyclist this would be an easy feat, however for us complete amateurs it's going to be a serious challenge. 

Whilst I'm very active, I do almost zero cardiovascular activity, and so cycling isn't easy at all!

Below is a layout of the route:

Malin - Strabane (Sunday 17th)
75km 470m

Strabane - Cavan
110km 510m

Cavan - Portumna 
139km 348m

Portumna - Mallow  
136km 543m

Mallow - Bantry 
92km 640m 

Bantry - Mizen €65pp x2)
42km 334m 

If you have any accommodation along the way we would love to take you up on the offer! 

Thanks so much for watching, and stay tuned for more.

My Biggest Challenge Yet | Cycling from Malin To Mizen for Charity

Slalom on a wakeboard! This was tough!

As it was requested, here's an update on my 'professional waterskiing' journey. 

What started out as a fun session during a photoshoot has become a serious hobby - and who knows, maybe down the line I'll compete! 

When I first got home to Ireland with the ski, I was running the course at 46km/h however I've managed to up it to 52km/h. Today my goal is to learn how to run the course at 55km/h and maybe even try the competition speed of 58km/h! 

A big thanks to Eamon from Wake N Ski for not only towing me, but also coaching and teaching me. Pointing out all the little mistakes which I need to improve. 

Thanks for watching.

Red Bull WakeDuel - What an insane few days! Watch the full live stream on my channel 🌊🏄🏼

On Saturday 10th of June we'll be going live to cover the 2023 Red Bull WakeDuel. Myself and Clint Liddy will be commentating on all the action. 

Once a beautiful dream, RED BULL WAKEDUEL has become a wakeboarding event of the highest standards. It holds its own against the world's best championships and even surpasses them at some points.
More than one athlete has called this competition the most exciting event of the year – and it's easy to understand why. There's an AAA class lineup with the world's best riders, a bounty of breathtaking duels, a chance to discover emerging talents, a fantastic location, aka 313 CABLE PARK, and, of course, legendary parties and nightlife.
Even the qualification of RED BULL WAKEDUEL looks like a solid international championship, so what else could be told about the final event? So, don't waste time and register - as always, the number of participants is limited. Then carve your way through qualifications and duel the world's greatest riders.
PRIZES
🥇 1st Place: €3,000
🥈 2nd Place: €2,000
🥉 3rd Place: €1,000
But that's not all! MYSTIC BOARDING is bringing the heat by awarding two outstanding riders for the “Most Progressive Line". Each rider will walk away with a €500 cash prize! 🏄‍♂️

Red Bull WakeDuel 2023 Livestream

I'm over here in Lithuania at 313 Cable Park for the biggest wakeboarding event of 2023. It's called Red Bull Wake Duel and it's going to be insane. The best part is the livestream is going to be hosted here on my YouTube channel this Saturday - so make sure to join us from 11am-5.30pm (local time). 

We have some of the greatest riders on hand including Dom Hernler, @Nikguehrs , @ThePeacockBrothers , amongst many more. @DaveAv and @domliek be flying the drone to give you that up close and personal angle. 

Thank you for watching and join us this Saturday!
