Benny G will be leading the Straight Line Wakeboard Team in 2007! Over the course of the last year he has earned the title of Rider of the Year, graced the cover of our industry’s magazines, and appeared in numerous wakeboard videos. He continues to grow our sport by coaching riders at The Wakeboard Camp located in Clermont, Florida. In addition to the many accolades, he has earned, Greenwood is arguably the most stylish rider of our day.
When I learned of Ben officially signing onto the Straight team I connected with Jeff Wheeler, Director of Marketing and R&D for Straight Line. He had this to say:
“I’m stoked to have Ben on the Straight Line team for 2007, he is an amazing rider and representation of what wakeboarding is all about. He puts a lot of time and energy back into the sport and that is really what drew my attention to him over a year ago, which is when I first approached him about joining our team. I really like how Ben focuses on the lifestyle of the sport in what he does to promote himself, with lots of video shoots, road trips and magazine stories, all these experiences are such a great way for every day riders to better relate to him. On top of all that, we expect Ben’s experience and input on products to add a fresh look to Straight Line’s ropes and handles in the future. You can see Ben talking about his mainline of choice this season, the Viper, on our web videos featured on the Straight Line website.”
