Rider Spotlight- MATT WISE

YOLO Board Team Rider Matt Wise, age 16, is coming on strong this season with impressive wins. He took 1st in the Jr. Division in the brutal 11-mile Florida State Paddleboard Championships for the 2nd year in a row, and was 5th overall in the 12'6 Elite. He took 1st in the 12'6 Men's Elite and 1st in the Jr. division in the Five Flags Paddleboard Classic. At the Carolina Cup he took 1st in his division in the 12'6 mile Graveyard Course. He was the first to cross the line in the 12'6 Elite division, qualifying him for the SUP World Championships in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in November. So proud of this amazing young talent.
