“This is one of the best stories of my entire life!’’. So, 4 years ago I went to CWC for my first time and I saw a group of 4 guys (Ben, Graeme, Will, and Antoine) riding their creation for the first time: the Big Plaza. It was mind-blowing! Time and typhoons destroyed it over the years. Last year, Victor Salmon went to CWC with the project to ride this pool gap again and he motivated the locals to fix everything.

Victor offered me to join the session. Challenge accepted. I was so excited about the idea. The first moves were impressive and slowly I managed to find a few lines. Straight away I messaged Ben to tell him the spot was alive again and that I was so stoked to be able to ride it.

He motivated me to get some clips and offered me to put everything together. What an honor. A lot of friends helped me with cameras, drones, GoPro, patience, and time and we came out with some interesting shots. I wish I could ride it a little more and try other things but my body was too tired. Ben did such a great video for me and I’m so grateful for his time and his talent.

That’s my short version of the story!”

Liquid Force Set Up

Bindings: Vale 5-7. Anna Nikstad‘s pro model and also the best bindings I’ve ever rode.
My favorite thing is how low they are on the ankle, it allows a lot of mobility. They come with a walk liner that you can easy put into the main boot, and as soon as you tight your laces, you feel stability, maintain and control.

Board: Virago 152. Anna Nikstad’s pro model again! The shape she offers is the most flexible on the range. That’s what I like the most on a wakeboard =) and for 2021, she made it in 152cm! Plenty of fun.

O’Neill Gear

Wetsuit: Hyperfreak 3:2mm. The best neo on the market! Flexible, strong and warm ♡

Lifejacket: Bahia Vest. This one goes low on the hips and I love it cause it protects my bones and stays without moving!

Unit Victress Series – My Lil Paperplane

Unfortunately, this babe doesn’t fit in my bag but I wish it could be at every destination, cause it’s so much fun to ride!! If you want to discover my Unit Parktech signature, you can find it at Wakebeach257 and Supieria, both in Germany! Where next!?

Nane Art Clothing

We all have a fav riding shirt. Mine is Mr. Fleischer longsleeve ♡.

But for the colder days, I’m always hidden in my Wal windbreaker!

After Essentials Ponchos

The sweetest ponchos in town. Fluffy outside, really dries inside. And it’s from France!

I literally use them all the time. After shower, to get change at the wake spot, before and after surfing, to sleep! All – the – time.

Sometimes I even drive back home in my poncho .. and once I had to stop for fuel, no pasa nada!

CopyCatsClub Cap

The one and only one. On my head everyday.

My Film Cameras

Meet sir. Analog & mr. Pola

The post What’s in Maryh Rougier’s Board Bag? appeared first on Wakeboarding Mag.

Maryh Rougier is making waves in France. We had the opportunity to get a few minutes with her to share some inspiration.

When did you start Wakeboarding?

I started wakeboarding about 8 years ago, when I was 20 years old.

Who got you into the sport?

I was working in an action park as a summer job. They had a cable park and we were allowed to use it on our free time. That’s how I first started. But I truly fell in love when the local crew built an obstacle!

Where do you train and where were you born?

I was born in Toulouse, France. Now I’m riding a lot at TNG Cable Park, which is one of the best cable parks in our country and only at 40 minutes from my place! We have so many cable parks in France, you have no idea! Within an hour from me there are six more! So, I am moving around a lot. Come and visit, I’ll show you!

What are your goals and what tricks are you working on?

My first and only goal is to have fun and enjoy my time on the water. Some days I’m just chilling out and having fun. Some days I’ll throw myself into new crazy missions. Whatever makes me happy at the moment.

Who are your sponsors?

Liquid Force, O’Neill, Unit Parktech, Totem Wake Park and Nane Art.
