James Duval - April 11, 2002
James Duval has been into wakeboarding for quite a few years now. He always has a good time when he is on the water and always has a huge smile on his face while riding. James introduced most of us to Louisiana Spring Fling as he attended one of the very first events. James can also be caught with a camera in his hands snapping awesome pictures and video footage of all of us behind the boat. Check out what else James has to say about the sport.

KM: How do you currently feel about the sport of wakeboarding?
JD: I feel that the sport is growing like skateboarding was back in the day but it does not have the respect like skateboarding yet. I hope it stays fun and not so much competition with each other.

KM: What do you think you could do to help the sport grow in your area?

KM: Who has influenced you the most in wakeboardings?
JD: Any new person on the water. There is nothing better than seeing a person get stoked on getting up for the first time. It is amazing.

KM: How do you feel about yourself as a wakeboarder at the present time? What would you like to improve on?
JD: I suck but i still have a blast and now that I will have my own boat you better watch out. I would just like to improve on my all around skills.

KM: Why do people call you Chester?
JD: So you had to bring that up, huh? You know why!

KM: Who would you like to thank?
JD: Everyone! My wife Michelle for not killing me for ditching work to go riding. Kevin for being there through all the crap with the whole sport in the early days. Everyone who has given me a pull, thank you all. There are so many of you that I can not name them all! You know who you are, thanks a bunch!

We would like to thank James for taking the time to do this interview with us. It has been a pleasure having James involved with Krookedminds and we hope he stays around a lot longer. Watch out for James in his new Supreme soon.
