Should Pro’s Ride for Free? | Momo Dudzinski - Ep. 101

The growth and legitimization of wakeboarding in Germany cannot be tracked to one individual, but a group effort, and Momo has been at the forefront of that push for over a decade. Momo has helped get women into events like Munich Mash and has thought deeply about what equal pay and equal opportunity looks like in a sport like wakeboarding. Momo is a great example of what happens when you see the crossroads of someone who is truly a rider but also happens to have a business mindset. From working with Sesitec, Wasserski Langenfeld, and now Inside Wake, Momo is educated, well thought out, and opinionated. Hear about all this and more in Episode 101 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
