We got our first look at Danny Harf's new video project, Defy, at the 2009 Wake Awards, and it was one hell of a first impression.

I started wakeboarding when I was six years old, and I grew up with the Bonifays at their camp — actually waterskiing — I started competing in Boys division when I was 11 years old, and my last year in Boys I won every single contest and JD Webb has stepped up to Junior Mens, but I was too young to ride Junior Mens, so I just went straight up to Pro at age 11...
