Top 10 Riders of All Time: #1 Davis Prillaman


Taking the top spot on the VT Wake Top 10 Riders of All Time list is SML native and CWB rider, Davis Prillaman. Oddly enough, he and #2 Joel Wagner attended the same high school. Davis graduated from VT in 2009 with a degree in Engineering and is now living in Charlotte, NC. He is another rider with amazing raw talent that can do just about anything on a wakeboard. While he wasn't too involved in competing for VT he was at the top of the local wakeboard scene in NC/VA and his riding certainly left a mark on the club. Davis could go for months without riding, then go out on a mediocre wake and land Tootsie Rolls, Method HS BS 540s, Mute TS O/A 720s, Batwings, Moby Dicks, and more. No warm up needed. While several riders on our list have specialized in certain areas...Adam in spinning, Joel in handle pass inverts, Edan with his style, etc...Davis is the complete package. He really doesn't have any holes in his riding. He can go big, spin, do technical tricks, blast off double ups, and he has style. Unfortunately, Davis doesn't wakeboard as much anymore, but his riding cemented him as the #1 rider in VT history and it looks like he will hold that spot for a while.

  1. Wow! Great stunts! I just got a double up wakeboard - they are the biggest Australian wakeboard brand on the market. Also known as DUP, Double Up Wakeboards have been the kings of ‘freeride’ since 1996. Focused on fun and freedom, their wakeboards are just that – safe, durable and so much fun to ride for all members of the family. Need equipment from Double Up Wakeboards?
