Summary
When you think of wakeboarding what is the first name that comes to mind? Yeah that’s what I thought... Shaun Murray! Shaun has been in the game longer than anyone and still hangs with the best. Ranking top 5 on tour for 2007 proves it! I could start a biography on this guy that would be longer than the "War and Peace" novel, but we all know what he has done for the sport. From "Detention" to his own video game to his camp at "The Boarding School" and still finding time to compete; Shaun has done it ALL! The greatest of all time and the most genuine hearted person you will ever meet. Shaun Murray IS Hyperlite!
