Julia Rick is ready for the new season !

Julia Rick is preparing for the season and inventing a new trick in Thailand

The training trip to Thailand to prepare herself for the upcoming season 2017 was more than successful for Julia Rick. She came home not only with a lot of spectacular photo and video shots but also with a new trick in her bag: the Raley Backside 540! She is the first woman ever landing this trick and makes again history in wakeboarding, pushing the level of women’s riding. She published a video clip on her social media about her landing the new trick which was filmed with the Panasonic Lumix GH4. Only on Facebook it has already reached around 83.000 views, more than 1.000 likes and got shared 250 times!

Since the beginning of the season 2017 Julia has been working together with her new sponsor mystic Boarding. She is wearing and representing their lifestyle clothes and water wear (wetsuits, vests etc.). Mystic is happy about the new cooperation stating: “Welcome to the team Julia Rick! The multiple World Champion in Cable Wakeboarding is all about breaking boundaries with her incredible high level of riding and landing multiple tricks as the first women. Let’s push women’s wakeboarding further! Check out her teampage: http://mysticwake.com/teamriders/julia-rick.” Besides creating a profile on the international website they also produced a welcome video which has reached already around 50.000 views and more than 1.000 likes on their Facebook page.

Training trip Florida, USA

In the beginning of april Julia went to Florida, USA, to train for the upcoming US-Nationals where she will be the defending champion in July. Furthermore she took part in a photo- and video shoot from her sponsor „Ronix Wake“ with her 2018 Pro Model „Julia Rick“ Board. Just in time for her travels she received the brand new photo and video camera Lumix GH5 from her sponsor „Panasonic“. It was the perfect partner for her travels and she managed to shoot a lot of high quality photos and videos. This camera makes shooting high resolution action photos easier than ever before, moreover the new slow-motion is spectacular and groundbreaking.
