Gettin’ tricky at OWC. Sequence: Garrett Cortese

If you have ever been to OWC, you’ve probably seen Aaron Perkins running the cable. And if he’s not behind the controls, he is busy running the place on the water. His consistentcy on the cable is insane — he has no problem big spinning out of everything imaginable. But the one thing that sets Aaron apart from a lot of riders his is genuine attitude and overall eagerness to ride. He is always smiling and jumping around, stoked to be on the water.

I have had the pleasure to watch Aaron progress in the past couple years and really start to make a name for himself now. This On Deck is long past due and you’re going to be seeing a lot more of him soon. Next time you stop by OWC make sure you say “hi” to the blond kid smiling while he is working. Congrats to you Aaron for shredding and being a cool guy!
