Yes, he’s a goofball. Yes, he’s Italian with questionable English. Yes, he’s been trying to perfect his redneck accent, lingo, and sometimes attitude. And yes, he’s quickly become one of the best wakeboarders on the planet with a style all his own. Last year’s Rookie of the Year continued his rise to the top of the “must watch” list for both fans and fellow pros alike. Massi’s wakeboarding was impressive last year, especially the added elements of personalize style, but this year it improved by leaps and bounds in both the freeride and competitive realms. Don’t act like his wrapped tricks, double grab combos, and tweaked out grabs don’t get you stoked to ride. And then there are things like the zero and the wrapped crow mobe… We can’t wait to see what the comedic and slightly bilingual Massi brings to the table in 2016. If it’s anything like the appropriately named “Pizza Boi”, it’s gonna be good. Or, as Massi likes to say, gucci.
