JEN GILANFARR

Birthday:  March 30th, 1987

Resides: Crystal Bay, NV

O’Neill team rider since November, 2008

Jen’s ascent to the top of women’s professional wakeskating was fast, if not especially furious, as the most accomplished female wakeskater to date. He passion for the sport goes above and beyond daily riding and contests. Jen is here to leave a mark on women’s action sports.

She has rallied ladies from all over the world and trained with them so they could have a women’s division on The Wakeskate Tour. Her goal is to push the boundaries of women’s wakeskating with her crew of leading ladies, known as The Wakebabes. She also aims to grow the sport by inspiring ladies of all ages to learn to ride through Clinics and Girls Ride Days, spreading her love for the sport.

Off the water Jen is an accomplished Graphic Designer, she has designed over four board graphics and recently started the first women’s specific wakeskate company, Wandr Co. When she’s not on the water or hard at work you can find this lady on some wild outdoor adventures, she lives for it!
