ATHLETE
Over the years as a professional wakeboard rider Kristin Bower developed relationships with companies who actively help him achieve his dreams and goals through life on and off a board.
Sponsorship is a huge deal and should be treated with the utmost respect. Kristin believes when a company relates to the individual athlete by sponsoring them, the athlete should return the respect and believe in the company the athlete promotes.
Kristin attributes his characteristics and background to his mother and father who raised him to treat every one equally and with the respect you would want to be treated with yourself. Loyalty is important to him both personally and professionally.
Kristin has found it far better to maintain a firm grasp of what you set out to achieve and stick with those who help you rather then jump from ship to ship. This has earned him huge respect in the industry as Kristin was sponsored for over 11 years with one of the biggest surf labels in the world – Rusty clothing company.
Now as he branches out into building his own Wakeboarding / Surfboard Indy Wakeboards, his long term relationships in the industry are invaluable.
