Our passion and our loved sport and lifestyle of wakeboarding has lost one of its early pioneers and true legends! RIP Faz 💔
In the early years of the sport in the UK, Faz brought some of the most core and well respected wake brands into the UK, including the likes of Waketech, Double Up, Gator, Jetpilot, Cassette and much more. Always supported the sport by sponsoring riders, creating events and doing everything he could to help grow it. He also shredded the hell out of the wake on his Nautique 2001 and Air Nautique. Huge raleys with his massive dreads and balls to the wall style. He then co-created Wakestock, an event that is sorely missed these days and was quite simply the dogs bo****ks of an event, perfectly summing up what wakeboarding was about!
The influence Faz has had on so many people is huge, especially me. Always my favourite days work in the shops was when Faz visited, always the biggest weekend of the year was Wakestock, used to love shredding with him, having a brew and catching up and feel privileged to have been able to work with Faz and his brands over my time in the wake industry.
An absolute legend has left us and I can’t even imagine how his close friends, family and all the Abersoch crew must feel.
Oshea will always be the absolute definition of a true rider owned company! He knew what it was all about and he lived his passion for sure.
A true inspiration of a man!
RIP Faz ###xx
