Rivers Hedrick | 2025 Alliance Wake Rider of the Year

In an era where attention is easy to chase and authenticity is harder to find, Rivers Hedrick stands apart. At just 19 years old, the Georgia native has risen through wakeboarding not by shortcuts or hype, but through discipline, humility, and an unrelenting work ethic. Her approach, grounded, focused, and unmistakably real has propelled her to the top of the sport. In 2025, that journey came full circle as Rivers became the first female ever to earn the Alliance Wake Rider of the Year honor. This is more than a title. This is what earning it looks like.
