Methods are bigger in Texas (photo: Donoso)
My name is Tyler Sommer
I am 18 years old
My hometown is New Braunfels, TX
I’ve been riding for 9 years
My favorite spot to ride is Terminus … small cable & money features
My favorite rider is Aaron Gunn because he throws nothing but hammers
The best trend in wakeboarding is riding with a big board and a small stance
The worst is people stealin’ your steeze
The best instagram to follow is @kook_of_the_day, they have some quality content
When I’m not wakeboarding, I’m either taking dubs on Fortnite or working on my WRX.
The worst crash I’ve had riding was when I was riding doubles with a friend behind the boat. I told him to cut out so I could do a trick, and without looking to see if he did, I threw a toeside backroll and ended up landing on top him. Somehow we didn’t get tangled in the ropes or mangled by a wakeboard … God’s plan
The newest trick I’ve stomped and I’m most stoked on would be a switch nose grab front mobe 5, they are tricky but look sooooo good
