AIO has joined the Water Sports Industry Association (WSIA) in efforts to support the wake industry and its athletes.With deeply established roots in the wake industry, the AIO team recently decided to create a new strategic partnership with the Water Sports Industry Association (WSIA). In efforts to increase interest in water sports, AIO will provide current athletes with unique opportunities to boost their brand recognition and bring new eyes towards the industry. Elite athletes like, Waterski and Wake Sports Foundation Hall of Fame member, Parks Bonifay are already teamed up with AIO, offering users once-in-a-lifetime adventures, and forming new life-long fans in the process.

What they think

“The crew behind Adventure IO are a virtual dream team of industry professionals who understand how to deliver a first-class experience for wake sports enthusiasts and more,” said Kevin Michael, Executive Director, Water Sports Industry Association. “They reached out to WSIA to see how they could support the industry because they truly care about the sport and understand the influence pro athletes provide. With Adventure IO’s tight network amongst the sport’s most interesting athletes, the experiences are very enticing, even to a life long industry vet like myself. Truth be told, I just downloaded the app and am considering booking an experience for a friend’s birthday this summer!”

“We believe great companies are responsible for pushing their industry forward while providing consumers with the best product possible,” said Billy McKee, AIO Founder and Chairman. “By teaming up with the WSIA and a lineup of elite water sport athletes, we are not only exposing the wake industry to new eyes but also offering our users once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to experience

About Shaun Murray

What kind of boat and board did you learn to wakeboard on?
I’m not sure of the year, but it was a TriHull Galaxy. If you search a little ways back in my instagram feed you can see me sitting in it. My first board was the Skurfer Rage 1988.

You’ve had 23 pro model boards with Hyperlite in your career. Do you have one that really stands out?
It’s been 26 years with Hyperlite and 23 pro models currently. 2020 will be 24. The Bug board, from 1998, was the first big change when I wanted my board to be a lot wider, which allowed a much more free-flowing rhythm and style. Up to that point our boards were a little too aggressive and ski-like. Don’t get me wrong, I love skiing to this day, but when I’m standing sideways I’m going for a different feeling.

What’s changed the most about wakeboarding during your career?
Boat and wake sizes. They’re huge! And honestly not too cheap. But…

What kind of boat and board did you learn to wakeboard on?
I’m not sure of the year, but it was a TriHull Galaxy. If you search a little ways back in my instagram feed you can see me sitting in it. My first board was the Skurfer Rage 1988.

You’ve had 23 pro model boards with Hyperlite in your career. Do you have one that really stands out?
It’s been 26 years with Hyperlite and 23 pro models currently. 2020 will be 24. The Bug board, from 1998, was the first big change when I wanted my board to be a lot wider, which allowed a much more free-flowing rhythm and style. Up to that point our boards were a little too aggressive and ski-like. Don’t get me wrong, I love skiing to this day, but when I’m standing sideways I’m going for a different feeling.

What’s changed the most about wakeboarding during your career?
Boat and wake sizes. They’re huge! And honestly not too cheap. But, it’s one of the best investments to be able to spend time with your kids and friends in an environment that really doesn’t exist outside of boating. Your kids want to be there, as well as their friends. Everyone is encouraging others while they’re riding, pushing each other, having a great time.

You’ve competed semi-regularly on American Ninja Warrior the last five years. What’s the experience been like? How does it compare to a professional wakeboarding contest?

I built the my backyard gym without even thinking about ANW because I wanted to be light on my feet and to be able to swing around like a monkey and get what I call “Monkey Strong.” Monkey Strong is something you’ll see on my Hyperlite board graphics from the past five years. I started competing after a few months of working out on my backyard gym when I saw you could apply to be on the show. ANW is a pretty crazy process. You have to apply, and if you get accepted, you get one shot to run the course, which is what you see on TV. Don’t get to touch the course before you go, let alone practice. You fall and that’s it for the year. Way more stressful than a wakeboard contest, but so many similarities. Training, eating right, training more, counting down the days. But it’s super fun and I love the challenge.

Where’s the coolest place wakeboarding has taken you?
When I wakeboarded behind a Super Air Nautique G23 on the Sea of Galilee in Israel.

What’s it like being a character in your own video game?
That’s super crazy, especially since I’ve played video games since I was a kid. Seeing myself riding in the game and on the box cover of the game is something that is kinda weird but I’m super thankful for.

2019 Hyperlite Shaun Murray Pro Wakeboard

“Countless hours on the water have lead Shaun to this shape and the feedback has been mind-blowing. The Murray shape begins with a Subtle 3-Stage Rocker, there is no flat spot, the rocker simply increases under foot for a colossal boost of the wake. Carrying on from past shapes Shaun kept the Variable Edge Design and Center Landing Spine making the board enjoyable for all ability levels. The board’s edge is rounded between the inserts, sharpening under foot and then cupped at the tip and tail delivering solid edge hold when you want it and forgiveness when you need it. Hyperlite’s BIO3 Core and CarboNetX construction keep the Murray super light for easy spinning. This combination makes riding a larger board more suitable and the new 20th Anniversary Murray shape is available in a 145cm and 150cm option.”

]]> Shaun Murray and Greg Nelson agree that a solid foundation greatly increases a rider’s learning curve. Hyperlite introduces the Baseline, shaped specifically for creating that base and solid foundation.

The Baseline has wider overall profile built atop a continuous rocker, delivering a smooth carving board that gets more pop off the wake due to its increased surface area. The variable edge design is forgiving between the inserts but then sharpens towards the tip and tail providing the strong edge hold necessary for generating speed into the wake. The Baseline is simple and both Murray and Nelson agree that “Less is More” in shaping philosophy. The center of the base is clean, clean water flow creates a smooth ride and softer landings, the duel tunnels easily allow water to enter and exit at the Baseline’s tip and tail. Take it from two legends, the Baseline is the board for your Wakeboard adventure.
