Team Supra Bio: Rebecca Gange / Video

On Team Supra Boats@Supra_Boats character counts most and the wins follow. The Supra Boats Factory Team is much more than a group of sponsored athletes. Riders like Rebecca Gange @becgange are our family. We are fans of Rebecca as a person and a teammate as much as a competitor. Rebecca Gange is a dedicated ambassador of the boat brand that she trains behind to win, but more importantly she represents Supra Boats with poise and character. That is a big reason why Rebecca continues to succeed in wake boarding. We couldn't be more proud to have Rebecca as a part of Team Supra Boats! Read on to learn more about Team Supra Boats athlete Rebecca Gange.

Team Hair Tangled and Won

Supra Boats @Supra_Boats Pro Team Rider, Austin Hair, just earned one of the most satisfying victories in sports; a team victory. Team Austin Hair took home gold at Wake Games 2012. Read on to learn more about the team's performance.

"This past weekend we wrapped up the Wake Games here in Orlando. The top ten pro men from last year's King of Wake standings get to be team captains. This meant that the Sovens, Harley, myself and a few others would be competing against each other not only on the water, but at the draft as well. The draft is where they separate the men from the boys. The winners are made here, and everyone else is left to fend on their own. Choosing teams is not for the faint of heart. Each captain is responsible for choosing 9 other people to add to their team, a complete mix of other pros, amateurs, and wakeskaters. My strategy was simple, add the derivative of the score to the multiple of their seeding placement before calculating the mean.
