At just 15 years old, Chad Sharpe, a determined Canadian wakeboarder, embarked on a life-changing journey from British Columbia to West Palm Beach, Florida, with nothing but his passion and ambition. Over the years, Chad has dominated the wakeboarding world, earning pro tour victories, world titles, and the prestigious Alliance Rider of the Year award.

Renowned for his fearless approach, Chad is known as “that guy” who hits the rails others avoid and attacks the wake with unparalleled aggression. To this day, Chad holds the record for the biggest double up ever recorded. Now based in Orlando, Chad continues to inspire and train the next generation of riders at Freedom Wake Park, specializing in wakeboard and wakesurf instruction.
