It's never too late to seek your passion: 30-year-old female wakeboarder going after a World Title

My wakeboard journey has been different than most.

A rider update by BabeShredder, Kaley McNay.

I fell in love with wakeboarding during high school but did not practice or compete until I was 26-years-old. Typically, wakeboarders who pursue the sport for competition, do so as children, teens or in their early twenties when their bodies can take the abuse. However, I was focused on obtaining my Masters Degree by age 21 and starting a career.

In 2012, I competed in Active Water Sport’s Freerider’s Ball at age 27 and continued competing at local stops throughout 2013 and 2014 in Oregon and Washington. By 2014, at age 29, I was able to purchase a boat with additional support of my dad and brother. This brought my training to a new level and I spent the majority of 2015 free riding and training to compete in 2016. 
Now at age 30, I will be competing in the 2016 WWA Women’s Masters Division at the Western Regional stop and hopefully qualifying for Nationals and Worlds later this year.

I stay active in the off-season by snowboarding, weight-lifting, rock climbing and yoga. It's important to maintain my strength year-round so I'm fully prepared when I return to the water. I have incredible support from my sponsors, family, friends and boyfriend and I feel blessed to be living the life I am. For that reason, I am passionate about giving back to the sport. 

This June I will be participating in the Wake the World charity event which provides foster children the opportunity to learn how to wakeboard.  I participated in this event in previous years and the turn out is incredible. It is one of the most rewarding days I spend on my boat all year.

BabeShredder founder and wakeboarder, Ash Hannig, is also a fitppl Adventurer fitting the Vanilla Goji plant protein superfood into her active schedule. “With love for all board sports, my passions send me traveling a lot. It is great to have a healthy source of energy that I am able to pack and bring with me anywhere.”
fitppl Adventurer and BabeShredder wakesurfer, Morgan Lohmeier, enjoys the Vanilla and Goji plant protein superfood from fitppl the best. It’s what keeps her body up to speed with her exploring spirit as she goes about her day – usually consisting of a “3-5 mile hike, wakesurfing on Lake Austin and a core and cardio intensive class at City Surf Fitness.”
