How often do you practice?
I normally take one 30-minute set each day.  Some days I will take a second set with an occasional day off.

When did you first start wakeboarding and how did you get to today’s level?
I started waterskiing and knee boarding in 1994, at 6 years old at a cable ski park in Ratchaburi, south west of Bangkok. I fell in love with being pulled across the water, and my family was very supportive bringing me to the cable.  My father passed away later that year and I didn't go waterskiing again until I was eight.

1996, at 8 years old I started wakeboarding and waterskiing again almost everyday.  I would go to school in the morning and then come home and help my mom at her shop for 1 hour. She has a general store that has a lot of sweets and a school across the street. Very busy when school finished, and she needed help. After, she would take me to Lake Point for ridding the rest of the day.  Lake Point Cable would bring me home after dark. Weekends were spent at the cable park.  This was the schedule until I was 12 when I got a motor cycle and started a new school.


I was accepted at the top secondary school in Ratchaburi Province when I was 12.  This meant I would have to travel 30km to school each way everyday, having a motorcycle was very helpful getting there.  Being a little older, my Mom put me to work before and after school, but I still had time to go to the cable park on most days. I would play other sports at school, but being on the water is what I always wanted to do.

I gradually started to race jet skis as well as wakeboarding when I was 14.  The cable park had a professional jet ski team that competed around Thailand.  Wakeboard and Jet ski competition were always different dates, so I would spend one or two months just doing one sport or the other to get ready to compete.  My Jet Ski pro career highlights are a 2nd and 3rd place in the Men's Limited Stand Up category.

2004 - 2005 I decided to pursue a jet ski career, and spent time in Bangkok with a racing team, and then a few months with the Flamingo Racing Team in Pattaya.  I was only 14 and 15 years old and being away from home was difficult.  Jet ski racing is very expensive and with not having money for the best engines and ski's, talent could only get me so far.

I also missed wakeboarding. In May of 2005 I gave my friend Lota, who worked at TE Wake N Ski a call and asked if I could have a job.  Growing up I would see Lota dominating all of the Cable competitions.  He then switched to the boat, and had traveled the world wakeboarding. He always gave me advice and offered help if I wanted to pursue wakeboarding.

May 14th, 2005 I took a bus from Pattaya to Bangkok, and then hired a tuk-tuk to take me to TE Wake N SKi. The 45 km journey was over 3 hours long through monsoon rains completely lost. I eventually arrived at Sri Pratum Longstay Resort and that has been my home since that day and loving every minute of it. The rest is history.

Anybody you would like to thank?
My Mom and family.  Without them and their continued support none of this is possible.  All the time they spent taking me to the cable when I was young will never be forgotten.

Bomb’s goal is to be considered one of the top riders in the world. Initially, the goal was to be the #1 in Asia, and he achieved his 1^st Asian Wakeboard Tour Championship a year later in 2006. 2007 was an equally impressive year for Bomb around Asia, and it was time to set his goals higher.

With sponsors support, Bomb has been working to become one of the best wakeboarders in the world. Two passports later, 62 International trips abroad to 18 different countries Bomb is coming closer to achieving his goal of World Champion. At age 22, this is just the beginning.
