Jonn Bonet is a common sight at the Miami Watersports Complex considering he works there operating and giving lessons. He's a multilingual gentleman that rips on a wakeboard. His unique style comes from a snowboarding and skateboarding background. Even though he's only been riding for a few years, he's definitely going to be someone to keep our eyes on. He was cool enough to let me crash at his place for the night and the following morning we grabbed some McDonald's and headed to the cable for a two-hour private morning shoot courtesy of MWC. We finished the day off with some GoPro laps and extra tripod zoom lens shots. Check it out!

WW: Sponsor shout outs?
JB: Thanks to Slingshot for the new 2018 whip. Riding the 152 feels so much softer landings for sending it off our XL ramp in MWC. And also have been able to really work on all my presses now because of the crazy amounts of flex in the new wood core. Hoping this one doesn't break on me like my past three Jobe boards and the Hyperlite board I broke as well (LOL)!
