Joel Poland | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 48

Meet the most talented waterskier of this generation, Joel Poland. Growing up in England, Joel grew up wakeboarding and after a few years of that he got into waterskiing. After attending "Jump camp" in Orlando, Joel became extremely driven towards progression, practicing all 3 disciplines of waterskiing (slalom, trick, and jump). Grabbing your trick ski, sky flying, college waterskiing, getting banned from Australia, keeping skiing fun, competition vs. camaraderie, getting a boat sponsor, G.O.A.T. skiers, and getting wrecked on a dirtbike right before a tournament. Hear all that and much more in Episode 48 of the Grab Matters Podcast, now streaming on all major platforms!Follow Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joelpoland/Support the pod! https://www.patreon.com/GrabMattersPodcastThank you to our sponsors:Liquid Force: https://www.liquidforce.com/15% OFF Driftline use "grab15" at checkout: https://tinyurl.com/yvksusymGrab Matters Merch  | https://www.grabmatters.com/shopWebsite | https://www.grabmatters.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/grabmatters/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@grabmatterspodcastFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/grabmatters Hunter Thane | https://www.instagram.com/hunterthane/Chapters:0:00 Intro1:30 Grabs3:20 Wakeboard slalom 4:30 Growing up in England 8:00 Wakeboarding as a kid10:00 First time visiting America 13:50 What is 3-event skiing?
