My name is Daniel Grant, I am a professional wakeboarder and wakeskater, born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

 

I have been living in Thailand for more than 20 years, which is the perfect country to be based for wakeboarding and water sports in general.

 

I have always had an obsession with board sports and got my first skateboard at the age of 5 and quickly got into wakeboarding and wake skating, starting first at the age of 8.

 

I turned professional shorty after I secured the WWA Wakepark Pro Men world title, at the age of 13.   I already was sponsored at that time by Rip Curl International and shortly after joined Liquid Force, as part of their International Pro Team.

 

I got my first Pro Model Wakeskateter in 2012, which is called “TAO”, which means Turtle in Thai.     A few years later I got a Pro Model Wakeboard and bindings, all which carry the same name “TAO”.

 

“TAO” was my nickname as a kid in Thailand, as I spent all my time in the water.       Till this day, my helmet is sprayed in a way like a turtle shell, to connect with my nick name.

 

Most of my videos and social posts can be found via various social platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.    I however use this website to showcase my achievements and also to organize my edits and other information in a much more organized way.

 

A big part of making it possible for me to continue to travel and ride on the water is sponsorship.  I am very grateful for all the brands that are supporting me and helping me live the dream.  I am also open to representing new brands, to help me produce more content and growth within the sport.
