Ricky Gonzalez in "Man Overboard" Gatorboards first team film. 2004


What's up this is Ricky GonZaleZ I Was Born in Bakersfield, California and currently living and riding in Lake Elsinore and As well as Canyon Lake. I have been wakeboarding since I was 21 years old and haven't stopped yet ! I got into wakeboarding after I was a snowboard instructor for 5 years. I guess you can say that's why I fell into it and couldn't stop and its been history ever since. When I Started I always looked up to Erik Lutgert ( Gator ) , I would never think I would be riding for Gator boards and having my own Pro model boards and bindings. You would never think on how I started wakeboarding with my little $500.00 jet boat I would be where I'm today. can you picture it ? I Like the whole lifestyle of the wakeboarding scene. I travel non stop and get to see many parts of the world that i wouldn't be able to see if i didn't have the people i have supporting me in this sport, also to get invited to these unreal contest and get to tour and meet a lot of people. I'm still in the game and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. I'm Thankful for everyone that has helped me get to where I'm today, I'm definitely thankful for my sponsors; First and for most Erik and everyone at Gator Boards including you T-Roy and Brian A., Centurion Boats, No Fear Clothing, Silver Star Jewelry company, Liquid Trends, H20 Audio, PowerBass and Rev Wheels,and always my family and a good friend and riding partner Randall Harris, which I want to thank for being back in the game. If you want to hear more updates on what I'm doing and where I'm going next and what's coming up. Log onto my BLOG link and see what's up.

Thank you Ricky G
