Gunner, back at it in his backyard of Lake Conway

You’re back riding strong these days. What’s the recovery process been like from your knee injury? Are you at 100%? 
It’s been a huge learning experience for me. It’s helped me grow so much. I’m much more focused on my health and taking care of my body now. My knee is actually feeling better than ever thanks to Justin Cobb at ND Wellness. I feel like I’m back at 100% physically but mentally alittle hesitant with a few things still but that’ll come with time.
Have you gotten all your tricks back? Are there still any you’re hesitant to try?
I’ve done pretty much all the tricks I could do before the injury Atleast once already. But I’m not really focusing on getting all my tricks back right now I’m just trying to get back to some of the basics that I stopped doing over the past few years and just trying to do my old tricks with all different grabs now instead of just grabbing it in one spot every time I ride. So it’s been really good, and I’m feeling more comfortable on the water now than I ever have before. The only trick I haven’t tried is a back 9, which is the trick that took me out. I feel like I could do it right now, but there’s no need to at the moment so I’m just taking my time and enjoying going back to the basics!
What are your plans for the rest of the summer?
I really plan on just staying in Orlando continuing to go to physical therapy three times a week and ride as much as possible. Hopefully start shooting for a little comeback piece pretty soon and maybe a couple contests at the end of the year just for shits and gigs.

What’s been going down with the Conway Kids recently?
We’ve all just been riding a lot, haven’t been together that much this season due to everyone traveling to different contests and what not, but you can expect a Conway Kids edit with all the bois before the end of the season.
How many different countries are represented in the crew?
There are six countries haha! ‘Merica, obviously, Netherlands, Italy, Australia, Switzerland, and Japan
When can we expect some more waveboarding action, and what’s the future of that epic sport hold?
I’ve been doing a lot of wakeboard training, just keeping it on the DL so my competitors can’t get any ideas from me… Hopefully we’ll host another event soon and maybe even live stream it and get some fan votes in, cause if you watched the last contest I’m sure you could tell it was rigged, I shoulda taken the top spot for sure! Haha!
