Simon Pettai just might be every wakeboarders favorite wakeboarder. Hailing from Estonia, Simon has been influenced by some of the best snowboarders in the game, and it shows in his riding. Creativity mixed with a not too serious attitude makes for a truly inspiring rider. We sit down with Simon and talk about how he grew up riding in Estonia, video parts, his first trip to America to ride and work at VWC, Team Perfect Landing, claiming tricks, corrugated pipes, world records, and sleeping in subzero temperatures in a board bag. Hear all this and more in Episode 70 of the Grab Matters Podcast with Simon Pettai!
