Megan 'Megzy' Barker burst onto the wakeboarding competition scene two years ago with a win at the Wakestock Big Air. From that moment on all eyes were on her! Coming from 'nowhere' to win such an event made people sit up and take notice and she was soon dealing with sponsorship offers.
Moving down to London to work alongside LDB Wake School, her riding has matured under the guidance of Lee Debuse (LDB).
This year 2013 she is still the same crazy, zaney Megzy we all know and love BUT she took the National Boat Title, Wakestock Boat Champion and topped of her hatrick by claiming the womens European Boat Champion.
ExPix and everyone else will be keeping an eye on this pocket rocket from Yorkshire for teh foreseeable future.
