Randall The Vandall Harris was one of the most resptected riders in the history of wakeboarding.
He had it rough and smooth at the start of his career. Harris competed regularly early in his career but his hard-charging style of riding made it difficult to stand up his runs, and when he did stand up his runs, he lakced the techinical tricks needed to defeat the elite riders of the day.
He eventually drifted away from competitions and focused more on making videos.
