Danny Harf

Harf was born in Visalia, California and moved to Orlando, Florida where he grew up on Lake Willis and learned to water ski. He found his passion with wakeboarding at age 10. In 2000 he became a professional wakeboarder at age 16.

Erik Ruck met Harf at a wakeboard tournament in 1999 where they became friends and still rides with him.

Harf won the Transworld Wakeboarding Rookie of the Year award in 2000 and is a four-time X Games champion. His film, Defy, is a wakeboarding movie that shows one of the first ever double backflips ever done on a wakeboard.

Shawn Watson, Brian Grubb, Parks Bonifay, Shane Bonifay, Chad Sharpe, Nick Weinacker and Francois Roy came together to make "Pointless Productions", to make a video called Incomplete to show that they were the best wakeboarders of the time.

Harf was the first, and only rider to do a 1260 degree spin behind boat, in 2008.
