Best & Worst: Bob Soven
Time of day:
B: Early morning, can’t beat Florida’s fresh morning humidity!
W: Past 2 am, nothing good happens after 2 am.
Vehicle you’ve owned:
B: 9 foot jon boat with a 15 hp yamaha engine, I got it off craigslist and its been my pride and joy since.
W: My caddilac CTS, which I am currently driving. It was an impulse purchase and not ideal for my situation (wakeboards) or persona (minimalist).
Things about retiring from your basketball career:
B: My knees and ankles feel like I’m 10 years old again!
W: I’ve fallen out of touch with the local hommies
Trends in wake:
B: People caring about style
W: Narrow stance…suck a $&*$ Dylan and Dustin!
Fast food option:
B: Chipotle, I like to think of that place as a gift from the Mexican Gods
W: Krystal Burgers, who would ever eat there?
Feature at OWC:
B: Henshaw rail- It’s whirly transfer proof
W: Nessie-Kicker to bank is the exception for that feature
Movie you’ve seen recently:
B: Beautiful Mind-Russel Crowe in the role of a lifetime if you ask me.
W: Splice-If you ever stumble across this movie on TV or HBO don’t watch it!
Things about having Phil as a sibling:
B: There will always be someone that can’t stand to lose to me, kind of makes you feel wanted you know?
W: I have to hear about all the things Phil says on the PWT
Tricks in Wakeboarding right now:
B: Mitch Langfield’s straight jacket toe back 9
W: Austin Hair’s toe 7
Things about being an athletic ginger:
B: I can literally go all day, wake, cable, swim, basketball (before retirement) and not get tired.
W: I get minor injuries quite often because I go and go until I can’t go anymore
Things about being a Magic fan:
B: I really feel like I am a part of the team, I analyze every game as if I were coach, I take my findings and tweet them at the Orlando Magic organization.
W: There is no worst, 2013-2014 is our championship season!
Part of being a student at UCF:
B: I have a career plan after this whole wakeboard thing is over haha
W: I may be going slightly crazy from trying to do to much

Bob is super cool – when u are at the level these guys are at they take nothing personal – they know how good they are, and if another rider dogs on another's trick, it's used as motivation to make it look better – it's hard to understand unless you have been at that level – their comraderry is above and beyond the norm – these guys didn't get to this level by pouting every time someone said something negative, it would only hold them back – every rider has strengths and weaknesses, their goal is to become a balanced rider in all skill sets.

Hey guy – you must be a kneeboarder from the 80's or that dude on the old juicy fruit commercial doing a back scratcher on skis in a one piece neon pink ski outfit, or your blind because Bob sweats Steeze.
