Last Words with Shota Tezuka

He was a tiny Japanese kid who spoke zero English, but caught attention for his uncanny ability to get huge air. Even then he was already charging into double ups and boosting like he had springs in his legs. These days that big air amplitude and smooth-flowing style are what have made Shota one of the most popular riders in the game, especially at the Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour. Shota is one of the coolest and funniest guys in wakeboarding, so we figured we should check in and see what some of his \”lasts\” have been.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\”244\” img_size=\”full\” add_caption=\”yes\”][vc_column_text]Last song you listened to: LL Cool J – \”Paradise\” ft.
