The Walker Project is owned by Mike Walker. A long time surfer.
He's the fellow who creates and donates the custom wakesurf board to the Florida Jamboree.


You do not need to be the next Drew Danielo or Chase Hazen. The team rider search is every bit based on character, integrity, personality as much as it is rider talent. You do not need to be a "pro" to submit, you just have to be a wakesurf enthusiast with a passion for the sport, looking for the sponsorship of a wakesurf company and the support of a team.

Do not miss out on this opportunity just because you think you're not good enough - if you're worried about skills alone, showcase yourself in your bio! Good Luck!

The contact information is actually incorrect.

The contest, pictures, videos and awarding of the contract is all handled at Wake Outlaws. The sponsorship is thru The Walker Project, but there is no coordination at the links provided above.
