Ross Skrudland, Instructor

Ross Skrudland has spent most of his life pursuing extreme sports. From jumping 120 foot gaps on a motocross bike in search of his pro motocross license, to surfing big waves in Hawaii, Cali, and Florida (during a hurricane), Ross lives for adrenaline. It's no wonder that having lived on Lake Austin all his life he naturally gravitated to wakeboarding. Now you can catch Ross on Bill Gieger's Texas ProWakeboard Tour where he is performing tricks like: off axis 5's and 7's, whirlybirds, mobydicks, mute crowmobes, tanty's to blind, whirly 5's, and the "baller". From beginners to the most advanced rider, Ross is exceptional at communicating how to learn that new trick you are looking for. Look for Ross in the newly released DVD "It's Whatever".
