Jonty Green, 22, is widely acknowledged as one of the best wake boarders in Europe, a pretty amazing feat when you consider he only got behind a boat in 1999, is self taught and virtually self financed.

Jonty "Lives to Ride" with fearless determination, commitment and a natural talent. He is one of only a handful of riders in the world to excel at boat and cable riding.

He started in competition as a complete novice only six years ago and by sheer hard work and determination (despite missing a season with a broken leg!) he has become one of the top riders in Europe.

Jonty has been funding his passion by living/working through the summer,boat driving and coaching at Princes Club and Quayside Wake & Ski. During the winter he worked the night shift at Tescos to raise money to fund 3 months training in South Africa. He also "crosstrains" in skateboarding and snowboarding.

Since entering "Pro Men" category in 2003, he has been supported by and supports J Star (wakeboards and bindings), Billabong (clothing and wet suits), Vans (footwear) and Relentless (energy drink). He is now looking for further sponsorship to enable him to train full time and achieve his goal of becoming the UK Number 1 and Top 5 in the World.

Jonty had a great season in 2006,  winning the Kicker Comp at Boardstock in Toulouse, Cable Wakeboard Nationals, Wakeboard Night Jump, and MK Summer Jam amongst many others.

When Jonty returns from South Africa in April he will be heading of to France for Boardstock and Nokia Fise. He will be coaching again at Princes Club during 2007
