Meagan Ethell | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 80

Over the past decade no rider has been as dominant as Meagan, with countless podiums on both competitive disciplines (boat and cable), she has constantly been on the forefront of women’s riding for years. Although Meagan has Midwest roots, she moved down to Florida at a very young age to pursue wakeboarding, and has remained in the south ever since. Clear Lake rail park, going pro, switching sponsors, Let Her Rip, landing the KGB 5, marrying your best friend, equal pay, and the cover that never was. Hear all that and much more in Episode 80 of the Grab Matters Podcast! Follow Meagan: https://www.instagram.com/meaganethell/Thank you to this shows sponsors! Liquid Force: https://www.liquidforce.com/ Slingshot: https://slingshotsports.com/Chapters:00:00 - 1:40 Intro3:00 Clear Lake Rail Park5:20 Moomba Masters8:20 Favorite rab12:00 Growing up in Illinois 31:00 Going pro33:30 From Ronix to Liquid Force36:00 Knee Injury 42:40 Internal vs. external pressure47:30 Guest Question: Guenther Oka56:00 LF’n Wheel of Questions1:01:20 LF’n Wildcard1:03:00 Nautique to MasterCraft1:11:20 Let Her Rip1:15:00 Slingshot Silhouette Challenge1:16:15 Patreon Question1:19:10 KGB 51:23:00 Setup1:25:30 Guest Question: Larisa Morales1:34:00 Women’s boat riding/PWT1:40:00 Equal pay1:49:00 A gift from Meagan1:54:30 Guest Question: Don Wallace 2:00:20 Up and comers2:03:00 Contest mindset2:15:00 Marriage2:16:00 Biggest career moment 2:19:00 Guest Question: Rivers Hedrick2:23:30 The cover that never was2:34:00 Social media 2:35:50 Guest Question: Mahallia Budds2:47:50 2025 Season2:50:00 Injuries 2:58:00 Thank you’sLinks:Brimdana: https://brimdana.shop/Welcome To The Team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxVdCS7xNELet Her Rip: https://www.mastercraft.com/let-her-rip-movement/Up and coming girls:Giulia: https://www.instagram.com/__giulia.castelli__/Kitt: https://www.instagram.com/thekittsmith/Nacha: https://www.instagram.com/nachaholscher/Anna: https://www.instagram.com/annabeardennn/Shoot us a text!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GrabMattersPodcastWebsite: https://www.grabmatters.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grabmatters/videosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/grabmatters/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grabmatterspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/grabmatters
