Daniel Johnson

What was one of the best moments on your board?'

My all time most memorable moment was winning Rookie of the Year in 2024. All year I was battling with one of my best friends and teammate Stefano Comollo. We were nearly tied coming into the last stop and whoever placed higher that day was taking it. The car ride on the way to the comp was different for sure, but we had an understanding that no matter what...we were stoked it was going to be one of us, and nothing would change. The unlikely friendships I've made all over the world is a constant best moment in wakeboarding as well.

What lessons has wakeboarding taught you?

Wakeboarding has taught me to never give up on something you want to accomplish. No matter how hard a trick seems at first, breaking it down and putting the time into learning the steps makes the learning process much smoother. You never have to be good at something the first time you try, y ou need to put your time in. Which is a great lesson to integrate into life, as well.

What does it mean to ride for LF?

Riding for LF is a dream come true for me personally. I've always gravitated towards their products on cable and behind the boat, but the real reason is the LF'n family and what they do for the sport. When I was younger, I used to have such a good time at Free For All events all over the country, and that time hanging with the Pros was my main reason to go. I saw everyone riding and having a great time at every park, and every Pro stepping in and doing their part. From those experiences, I've realized that's what It means to ride for LF. To show people a good time and get more folks on the water!

Who or what inspires you?

I take so much inspiration from all the homies I ride with the most, just trying to do things differently and make it look good. If I had to take inspiration from someone though, Guenther Oka would definitely be at the top of my list. Covering Boat, Cable, Winch, Foil, and he's an ocean frother! Keeping style a priority is definitely something I'm always keeping in mind on the water and I feel Guenther thinks the same.

What do you think you are doing too much of or too little of because of wake?

I don't ride the 2020 Asym Noodle enough! The things I wish I could do more of would be getting to see my family. Since moving to Florida, I really only go back for special occasions. I love my FL fam and always being on the water and near the ocean will always have my heart.
