Where Style and Contest Riding Meet | Gavin Stuckey - Ep. 69

Gavin Stuckey is easily one of the biggest names in cable wakeboarding right now, meaning one of the Stuckey brothers is an odds on favorite to win just about every contest they enter. However, Gavin has separated himself from his brother Trent in both his riding style as well as the videos he puts out. After having an incredible 2023 season, the rumors started swirling whether or not Gavin would leave the brand he has been with his entire career, Ronix. After some back and forth, Gavin ended up moving over to Liquid Force, and we dive into the “why” behind that decision. We’re also talking Gavin’s early influences, Points Chase, the Stuckey custom Unit feature, Status, Grounded, his relationship with his brother, competitive mindset, and how the Stuckey’s afford to travel throughout the year. Hear all that and much more in Episode 69 of the Grab Matters Podcast!
