For years Melissa Marquardt has been pushing the women’s side of wakeboarding just as hard, if not harder than any other female rider in the sport. She pushes style, she pushes double ups, she pushes rail riding, and now she pushes dropping 15-foot gaps. On this day, Melissa went last after the rest of the WSR crew had their shot at this one. Stomping this little drop even pushed the big names in the WSR crew to strap back in and do it bigger and better than their feminine counterpart.
