Long before I knew what an f-stop was or Nikon for that matter, I was a student at the Benzel Skiing center at the ripe age of 12 or 13. Shaun Murray was my coach at the camp back then and taught us all the cool tricks to do on a board like wrapped 360s and star-gazed raleys.

I shot this photo with a throw-away camera, kneeling in the back of a Ski Nautique. I think this was one of my first photos of any wakeboarder, ever. I can’t believe Murray still has it in his arsenal of print photos. This is Shaun doing his best ’star-gazed’ raley over his brother Chris, circa 1994.
