Bio
Amber Wing is one of the best, if not the best, female Wakeboarder
that this industry has seen to date. She is the best for more reasons
than just one, not only does she have the tricks and the style but she
also has the brains, will, and determination to succeed in this bizz.
Wakeboarding is more than just being a raw talented athlete, you need
to know how to promote yourself, stay focused, and keep your head on
straight and Amber has what it takes. She has shown the world that she
is a force to be reckoned with, she was the first female wakeboarder
to land a toeside 720 not just freeriding but in a contest as well.
Amber has grown up riding with boys back in Australia and inherited the guts
to prove it, she now lives the dream by chasing summer all around the
world from her home in Sydney to her second home in Clermont, FL.
Amber has raised the bar for the industry standard for women’s
wakeboarding and will continue to do so in years to come.

Q&A
- Amber Makes History...Again. The first female wakeboarder to land a 720 in competition.
- Filming Can Be Fun, frustrating, challenging, rewarding
- Oakley Is Progressive, amazing
- The Crowds Create the vibe of an event
- Photo or Film No strong opinion on either side. Film is fun and allows me to see what the whole move looks like. Photo captures a particular moment and encourages you to hold a certain position longer because it looks good.
- Wakeboarding Is Exploding in so many directions
- You Feel Pain When I wake up in the morning in pain I know I pushed past my limits the day before
- I Prefer Summer all year round
- Contests Are Challenging. So much adrenaline flowing through your body to go out and do what you do everyday. The pressure an athlete puts on themselves, to succeed is so rewarding
- Once I Had no idea what wakeboarding was
- The Fans Are supportive and motivating
