Canada’s Olivier Derome was riding on the water before he could even run on land. At the age of 18 months, “Ollie” was learning to water ski with the help of his father, a Canadian water ski champion. Olivier’s passion for the water and snowboarding eventually translated into wakeboarding in 2000. Olivier has since developed into one of the leading pro riders and just seems to kill it out on the rails; winning some of the most exclusive rail contests in the world, including the 2008 Wake Lab.
