Check out the latest edit from wakeskater Jake Ramsdell. You’ll recognize jake from our Okeechobee Runnin’ series, as well as some banger clips from the Indmar Trick of the Year reel at Wake Awards. Jake isn’t just one of the raddest wakeskaters on the water these days, he’s also an awesome dude. With the backing of Leaf wakeskates and Ambush, he’s got a new pro model, too.

As Jen put it when the trip was over: “We’ve become addicted to ‘the next stop’ – to the mystery of what lies ahead and to the adventures on the road that lead us there. Beyond just riding, we are after the landscape, alpine lakes and rugged mountains. Wakeskating for us has become more and more about the adventure, seeking out untouched waters, foreign landscapes, and the long roads that lead us there.”

This type of wake tripping might not not have the luxury of a houseboat getaway or exotic cable park, but who says the size of your boat or the distance you travel determines how much fun you have? Plus, it’s Shark Week, and this Shark Boat more than fits the bill.

At any rate, Istudiomo is a gorgeous video filled with some of the most epic wakeskating ever caught on camera. Years went into the making of it, and once you watch it you’ll see why. Given the insane amount of time and energy that went into it, we figured it was only appropriate to break down some of the insane numbers that make the film what it is.

Watch Istudiomo here

• Length of movie: 1:01:16
• Number of riders: 13
• Number of countries: 7
• Amount of video shot (in GB or TB): 5TB of usable 1080p/4K video (AKA ~3 straight months of video)
• Number of cameras used: 6
• Number of times cameras splashed: ~60
• Number of drones crashed: 4
• Number of days filming: ~300
• Number of hours editing: ~250
• Number of flights you took: 39
• Number of times you said “Just one more!”: It was usually them saying it! Probably around three per session.
• Number of run-ins with the law: 53, I actually kept really good track of this! 26 kickouts (14 by locals, 12 by police/park rangers), 21 let us stay, three locals stopped them from kicking us out, two cops talked other cops out of busting us, one ticket then kicked us out (ticket disputed and dropped).
• Footage that was lost to a digital demon (bad card/HD): Surprisingly none, always have backups!
• Number of clips missed filming: Just one… Sorry, Nick T!

ISTUDIOMO: A WAKESKATE FILM

Istudiomo isn’t a real word. It doesn’t have any meaning. We’ve heard it pronounced a dozen different ways, and they’re all right. It’s just something that didn’t exist before and now it does.

Because of this fact, Istudiomo has every opportunity to be whatever we want it to be. We can cast off for any far away place and wakeskating gives us the luxury of many options to choose from.

We’ll venture to crystal clear springs, coastline swells, cold mountain creeks, landlocked lakes and swampy river basins, our only limitation is the water and luckily there’s plenty of it.

Our Istudiomo logo is popularly regarded as a symbol for rebooting or restarting, and that’s just what we’re doing. We are rebooting the wakeskate full-length in an age of quick clips, social media, and instant gratification.

We are putting in the work and preparing for the long haul of redefining our sport. This trailer is the first step in reintroducing ourselves.

Hello there, we are Istudiomo, we are wakeskating, and we are delighted to make your acquaintance.

Supra Boats would like to congratulate #TeamSupraBoats Athlete, Reed Hansen (@reedhansen) for winning his 8th Wakeskate World Championship Title this past weekend at the Supra Boats Wakeboard World Championships Prestented by Rockstar in Portugal!

The conditions were not the most ideal, as the wind was unpredictable on the beautiful Lago Azul in Portugal. Reed pulled through and won his semi-finals heat and was going into the finals the next day! The following morning wake skaters took to the dock, everyone was going big behind the SE550 despite the choppy conditions. Reed was last off the dock and he had his work cut out, after falling twice on his first pass he was able to get up and stand up his entire 2nd pass with some of his more advanced tricks which placed him in 1st, for the 8th time!

Congrats Reed! Here are some photos from the event.  (This is also right after he had won wake skate trick of the year at the Wake Awards! Reed is on a roll and we are #suprastoked for him!)
