Well, lets see here…. My given name is Mark Weikel but some call me “SmokeStack”, because of my power off the wake. HAHA..right. Any ways to all you who don’t know I reside in Ft. Myers, Florida at the Vista. Nice private lake where some friends and I ride on calm water all day. I am originally from Angola, Indiana, well that’s where I learned to wakeboard. Would say my style of riding is from Growing up 15 years in Southern California, where I would snowboard, skate and surf all in one day. I have many projects on the side that include WakeSkateLife Magazine and the notorious VERT CLOTHING, coming to a city near you.

You can catch me riding at all sort of places. I am usually at the Brisco compound where style is defined. A few others around Orlando and my Aussi friends…Ike, Chris O. It is good to be on Gator due to the fact I get to ride with Randall and Ricky. Getting that motivation does not come every day to many. Yeah so you can say like some, that I have a bit of a reflection from Randall. Great man. Oh and his tattoos are not real…

During the year you can catch me at contests and on the Fully Committed Tour. I am always traveling internationally to Mexico, Canada and Australia for tournaments and demos. I am also involved with doing my own clinics and love to help kids out. It’s all about the kids. The best place I have been is Israel. Got the chance to wakeboard on the Sea of Galilee. Not too many or any one can say they stomped some sevens where Jesus walked on water. Wes Brisco did as well. Yes sir.

Big props to Gator Boards who see’s the same vision I do on a wakeboard. Being on GB has changed me as a whole and you cant find a better class of characters than who is on the team. All of my international friends that I have made everywhere and keep bringing me back for more. Love you guys. TC ‘s Wake, Skate and Surf. TC helped me out since day one. My family is always there to stand by me and keep me pushing towards my future, big ups…. Just have the lord to thank for the life I live and every one in it around me. All glory be to god…

I be like the most known unknown. If you don’t know, now you know….Better ask someone.
