10-year-old Australian wakeboarding sensation Sammy Brown joins Supra Boats Junior
Factory Team with heart on and off the water.
(Maryville, TN) – Supra Boats welcomes a genuine
wake riding phenom from Australia to their Junior
Factory Team. Sam Brown is now part of the Supra
Family and not just because he is an amazing
wakeboarder. Sam is an authentic young man who
truly enjoys the sport and represents it with heart.
Character counts with Supra Boats and Sam
scored as high in integrity in this luxury
performance wake boat manufacturer’s book as he
did when he earned his 2012 World Title at the
Rockstar Energy Wakeboard World Championships
presented by Supra Boats. At 10-years-old Sam
earned a spot on the team with his unbelievable
performances on the water, but according to Supra
Boats he got the deal thanks to genuine heart.
Welcome to the team Sammy!

Sam was born in 2002 to Rob and Nadine Brown in Picton, New South Whales,
Australia. He started riding at the age of 7. Naturally his interests include a lot of wake
riding related sports like boat riding, cable riding and trampoline. He also enjoys
motocross. Sam rides behind a 2011 Supra Sunsport 20V on the Hawkesbury River in
NSW, AUS. He rides a 124 Liquid Force Nemesis with Wing bindings. Sam trains at the
Black Diamond Wakeboard School with his coach Scotty Kell.
Sam may seem like a typical 10-year-old at first glance, but his wakeboarding moves
are amazingly huge. His trick list reads like a glossary of wake riding terms. Just about
everything is listed, including the most recent moves he’s landed; a Tantrum to Blind
and all four 540 Spins. Whether he’s riding at home in Australia behind his Supra or
competing at the Wakeboard World Championships in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin
people stare in disbelief. This shocking advanced riding style has earned Sam 2 World
Championships, 3 National Titles, Rider’s Choice “Best New Talent” award and Liquid
Force Grom Master gold in the last 2 years.
“Like everyone else, we were impressed by Sammy’s riding ability especially at his age,”
answered Rick Tinker, President of Supra Boats, when asked what he thought of his
newest Junior Team member. “What impresses me even more is the way he acts off
the water. He’s a wonderful young man and we are so excited to have him on the team!”
For Immediate Release
Those who are familiar with Sammy have become somewhat used to his phenomenal
talents on the water, but many of them are still taken back by the way he conducts
himself off the water. He is extremely polite and well spoken. He is genuinely interested
in the people around him and very helpful. He is also driven. That sounds like a strange
characterization for a child, but it’s true. He is not driven like an adult drives for a goal.
He seems to be motivated by the fun of wakeboarding and pure challenge of the sport.
He rides with heart and that appears to elevate his performance as well as his
character.
