Guenther Oka was looked at as the best all-around wakeboarder in the world…and then he had a devastating knee injury.  While there was uncertainty, Guenther worked his ass off during physio, put out a Red Bull project and this year, he’s back to the competition scene.  With podiums in his first 3 events back, not only has Guenther not lost a step, but he’s stepped forward with a brand-new mindset, which could be scary for his competition. On the podcast, we talk about waterski bloodlines, coming up in Ohio, Wake Nation, touring, sponsors, money, and a lot more. Aaron Grace asks the Inappropriate Questions
