As they say, it's is all in the eye of the beholder. People see what they want to see based on what they know… or at least what they think they know.
And like anything, people have different perceptions of Raph Derome. As a guy that prefers to keep a low profile living the life of a self-described introvert, it's sometimes difficult to express who he really is to those around him. That's why Raph lets his wakeboarding speak for him.
With an endless drive and dedication to wakeboarding, Raph is truly in it for the love of the game. Never quite satisfied, riding to him is about the constant pursuit of progression and evolving his own unique vision of the sport.
Two years in the making, Raph's latest video project is the product of a tireless effort to capture the soul of the sport and a visual declaration to the masses that there is much more to wakeboarding beyond contests. Presented by Red Bull Media House in partnership with Billabong and Malibu Boats, the journey takes Raph on a trip to some of his favorite spots including Florida, his home province of Quebec and a big-city shred at Toronto's Ontario Place.
Check it out, it just might change your view.

I showed this video to my father, the first man to ever ride a wakeboard in South America. It wasn't even called wakeboard, and I can't remember the name. The board was (is, still have it) shaped in a similar fashion to a surfboard, but way bigger and bulkier. And there were no boots, just straps. He told me how him and his friends didn't know how to even get on the board, so they had to lunch laying down like in a normal surfboard and when the boat was going fast enough, they would proceed to stand up and get the straps on. He brought the board from a friend in cali. He is in his 60's now, and when I show him all these videos he gets more amazed at the progression of the sport he fomented. I've got pictures of him riding that board on an old boat, and another picture of the first jump made with that board. And then there's me, a selfish fuck riding on a friend's mastercraft, trying to get another 180 to my 720's, trying to land the so fucking impossible double backflip, or adding a salad grab to my tantrum. I LOVE WAKEBOARDING. And seeing it progress this much gets me to my heart, as I feel that i'm part of the soul of it, and it's history runs through my veins.
Love you pa, love you watersports. You will be the things that i'll miss the most if they get away from me
This also goes for almost every sport in the world, but yeah progression and technology are wonderful things
The Skurffer, not sure if the spellings right but I think that's what you're talking about.
Taito first man to ever ride a wakeboard in South America my ass
The Skurfer...the first board i ever road too. Made by Tony Finn and another guy i think. which turned into Liquid Force. Now he is the North American rep for Unit Surf Pool. Good History.
I love the fact that it shows him falling, even pros make mistakes. It's about learning from them and correcting them! Nothing in life is easy!
That hand slide at 7:11 had me saying out loud to myself “yesssss” keep doing what you’re doing man!
Raph is crazy, not very many people will ever be at his level. Full respect for his park skills.
I'd love to see a behind the scenes video on this..
I love this video, I saw it when it first came out and I come back and watch it every so often
I dont wakeboard but that was sick. He's got good style, looks like he's snowboarding. That back lip from flat was sick I'd imagine its's hard to pop that high.
Gmx
The first song is Holograms - Monolith
Not a wakeboarder but this was mad crazy. So much dedication must have been necessary for a video like this...!!
so much salt in the comments.
this video is rad. mad creative and dank tricks.
I firmly believe wakeboarding that actually involves wakes is by far superior and more entertaining..... however, that. Was. Impressive.
I agree :)
It's almost as if wakeboarding in a water & rail park oughta have a different name... since there are no wakes being boarded.
hybby Waterboarding?
AmazingGryphon - no, no... that's something totally different. Though that would potentially help change the public perception of that word, since it would no longer mean the other thing.
the board technically still makes a wake
hybby
So should we change the name of skateboarding to wheel boarding? They haven't used roller skate wheels since the 1960s
This is awesome. I wish I lived near a lake where I could wakeboard often but I've only done it a few times and I'm pretty good at it. Almost got over the whole wake on my second day out but couldn't quite make it.
cool
79 people really thumbed down this video. Tell me it was an accident. All the brutal wrecks Raph took to produce this should make people humble. This is the exact boost many of my young riders needed to reignite their original passion in wakeboardering. Kudos to Red bull for spending the money to make such a great wake flick. Keep on keepin on!
that was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life
I’m back watching this video after 8 years and it’s still the best video ever
That dude shreds, don't get me wrong, but listening to bros wax philosophic is nauseating, and I'm from CA, aka bro-mecca.
SLVMBER Listening to bros wax philosophic? What does that mean?
+ejmac11 Ikr, I think wax means go on and on about a subject, I think, I'm just guessing based on the context he used
SLVMBER 😂😂😂
SLVMBER yeah leave mind blowing narration to David Attenborough.
so wakeboarding is the future of wakeboarding .....well done red bull
I don't know man, this was pretty progressive
you're an idiot, they're talking about the style of wakeboarding... when did you ever see people doing urban on a wakeboard 5 years ago? almost never. this is the new norm in wakeboarding so yes this is the future of wakeboarding.
Brendan P Im glad you can see into the future lol mellow out man and enjoy the ride. style is riding in a way that feels good to you.
Brendan P no sir, youre an idiot. If this is what everyone is doing then it is the PRESENT. And to me, this looks no different than any other wake boarding video. Sorry not everyone wastes as much time watching them as your dumb ass. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
Jimbo Cee ..Shut up kid you know nothing.
Get Up - Get Out and Do Something! Great Clip!
Hands down to this collaboration!
not here to lay down the law,but, please put a helmet on, it would be a waste to lose what you have.
clearly you weren't wearing a helmet when your parents dropped you on you head when you were a baby.
nothing has brain washed me, but watching my mate hit his head on plywood get knocked unconscious and was left face down in the water until i got to him, he survived but with serious brain damage and a massive chance of a stroke later on in life
yeah haha i always agree with that one
***** Yeah so dont wear a helmet so we dont overpopulate? wat.
wacko234456 It's not what you think man don't worry about it
This totally inspires me. I'm 14 years old and a girl dreaming of being a pro wakeboarder.
make sure to get a second job as well. They don't pay too much
I want to be an anesthesiologist and do that on the side. I think I'll be pretty good with money :)
+Sarah Marsh are you using anesthesiologist as code for wakeboarding drug dealer hahaha
Next level for sure. Just...wow.
Such a raw edit! Red bull kills it.... like always! This was on my Soul id feed this morning and I got so stoked!
Beautiful edit. Music on point... Nice to hear something else than electronic BS.
whats up with all the deep emotional bullshit. just ride the damn wakeboard.

blackhatch46 It's wake boarding. Of course they have to have a backstory, because otherwise nobody would give a fuck. Red bull has been making a valiant attempt at giving this sport a backbone, and the only way to do that, is to get people excited by the athletes. Think about it this way: When the public thinks about a sport, they bring up a face with it. Skateboarding = Tony Hawk, Snowboarding = Sean White, Hockey = Wayne Gretzky, etc. Even less popular sports like Lacrosse and Cricket have big names with stories behind them. What does wake boarding have? Millions of people laughing at the legitimacy of calling it a professional sport, that's what. Point being, it's easier to get people to be excited for a sport when they're rooting for someone as opposed to not rooting for anyone in particular. It's the difference between watching a Rodney Mullen highlight and a compilation video of no names doing the exact same tricks.
.
The Architech what are you, 2? Are you trying to tell people to stop doing what they want? Your not spoiled when you wakeboarding. I wake board and surf and I'm 11. When i wakeboard i go with my best friend and we aren't spoiled!!! So shut up k?
Effing Mind Blowing!!!
Now these guys are like real superheros to me!
Like ninjas but even more awesome.
Way to go raf! you are the master! félicitation dude
I’m a snowboarder and I’ve always wanted to try wake boarding but idk anyone with a boat lmao
Try Kiteboarding then ;)
You guys sure make a good livin out of having fun. Good stuff
The cover shot reminds me of the Slim Jim guy. Rad video.
Best cameraman ever
@ 5:19 that was nice. not only did he kill the trick, he had the confidence to slap the fence!
I was a good snowboarder at one time hitting super park and was pretty good hitting rails. It only took one small lapse and I hit my face on a rail like these and ended up with $7K in reconstructive dental work. This guy is amazing!!! So Smooth!
It is not a good end for you Man... At least you had $7k ... Here is a good advice for the rockies ... use a motorcycle helment when you are riding the snowboard normally or on a rail.... and then you will be a pro and then you can take the helment or if you prefer it just keep it.... Peace :D
DUDE. THAT IS JUST SOO COOL!! BETWEEN JAMIE OBRIAN AND YOU, WERE GOOD. WE LOVE IT!!
Just awesome
this guy is one of the most gifted athletes I have ever seen! Insane risk.
Oh yeah, super risky falling into water. ahhh scary.... Not gifted at all, save that term for something more impressive . Something like an olympic sport which takes thousands of hours of practice more than this unskilled bloke.
id like to see you do half the stuff he did in this
did you even watch the video?
dont think he did
Def not, lot of risks involved, even just falling into water on a wakeboard has potential risks, let alone the stunts this guy pulls off.
This is so rad~ gets me so amped to ride!
Best wakeboard edit ever
If you aren't riding a wake then is it still wakeboarding?
+Cj Zeller well your still using a wakeboard, so in a sense you are still wakeboarding.
It's just waterboarding. I love waterboarding.
it is called cable boarding in my books and it erks me when people call it wakeboarding because I don't see no wake at all at cable parks
I went waterskiing yesterday first time in 20 years going to try the wakeboard next weekend since I snowboard I hope it won't be to hard can't wait
2 DEEP 5 ME
420 deep 666 me
your own cable pull in random rivers...so sick. I'd love to see more footage like that. STREET WAKEBOARDING!!!
One of the most entertaining extreme sport video's I've seen!
Excellent sound tracks
Best edit I've seen in awhile
This is fucking badass. All the people hating on here probably lack talent in anything lol
Everything*
James Delaurier that one's debatable. You might be right though, thanks
+James Delaurier what's the difference with the two words?
Not Twon Li. He's hating because of the music... He thinks RedBull is full of it, and the music directors are low lives trying to ride on the success of others, like the goddamn Mongolians.
I don't like when people talk about themselves in the third person
This is so gnarly.
Man skateboarding is the grandfather to everything! Bikes wake boarding rollerblading scootering
what you meant to say is surfing is the grandfather to extreme sports.
You no what, when i put that comment down i was going to put surfing and then i said ah forget it i don't feel like typing it again. But you are correct my friend because if there was no surfing there would be no skating.
That double back roll at the end though!
you bro are the inspiration that will drive me. see you soon
I may be showing my age but former pro wakeboarder Eric Schmaltz predicted the future of wakeboarding would be a rail and kicker style park in an issue of Wakeboarding Magazine back in 95 or so. I remember telling my sponsor years ago in 97 that they should make a wakeboard that had a nose and tail that would allow you to do skateboard style tricks like 5-0's, etc.. on. He didn't understand and thought I was crazy.
With that being said, rails and kickers are the future to promote the sport. The general public can never really differentiate between the complicated inverted tricks but you see some guy jump over a huge gap and you know it's difficult.
As someone who enjoys riding behind a boat (although not having done it for a number of years), I do hope that both stay readily available. I'm sure there will still be a lot of people who will enjoy going out on a nice butter calm lake, behind a powerful boat, wind rushing through your hair.. absolutely having a blast :)
Both have their place. Rails and kickers (which I have yet to do) will popularize the spot; boating will likely stay popular (and awesome) :)
Ive seen many wb-er videos but this Derome guy is the primo uno on youtube (therefore in the universe? :) ) so far.
That was fronxin illy. Props yo Mad props
He seems quite good at riding that slidey board thing.
This dude has the perfect mix of skills and balls!
Please Do ohne of These again this Clip is so fucking sick
Not going to lie, I'd love to wakeboard. Especially with street elements.
This video is incredible!
Absolutely unreal!
Sick! Rad locations. Throw the a vest on though
Dang...Raph's got this figured out, and Raph is a cool name too!
Michael Maiden this guy is pretty sick!! though you might like it x
lucy anne1234 I've seen it before it's amazing.
So sick!!!
This blew my mind. Wow..
Insano! O esporte está evoluindo lindamente.
Awesome video! Amazing skills.
great video for sure
this video is very food directed, really cinematic.. i just don't like color correction, too flat and too desaturate.i'm a surfer so i don't know a lot about wakeboard tricks, but they're also amazing.
Honestly I kinda like the way they color corrected this. It gives it a certain vibe idk, it's different than all these colorful crap dub step edits. Not saying colorful videos are bad. But I'm pretty sure they made the video look like this for a reason, and I dig it
also? sufing is not in the same league
Quenton Millstid All 'freesports' come from bmx or surfing. Wake boarding is just an evolution of bored surfers experimenting.
love this
Totally gnarley!
amazing!!
I love Parks Bonifay I would do anything to meet him he is my Hero!! (Redbull Gives You Wings)
Awesome!
Awesome! Like it!!!
he was in wake brothers in mtv was an actor right?
Amazing
I need to do this!!
but I suck at this kind of stuff 😂
I appreciate that this video introduced me to Connan Mockasin
I know where he was. St-Zotique, next to the go carting place and I can here a bit of a french accent.
fantastic
Great video
Love this.
Hey!! great video!! whats the first song??
awesome, same tricks since 1999
still so sick
It is so good
AWESOME VID
He got pulled by 4 mustang horses on the bridge. No joke.
AWESOME!
that was so sick
I can do that. Hold my drink 🍻
Let's see the EPIC FAIL compilation for that tow line park. I am sure it is gruesome.
This dude is sick!
how can 156 people can not like this !
Does anybody else think this is the trippiest gnar they've ever seen?
imagine catching your fingers in the fence
One little piggy stuck in the fence... Two little piggies stuck in the fence..... Now I can't even count how many I think it's seven but idk.
"congratulations on your evolution"
This is fucking amazing!
Inspires med for skiing.
best song
watching this i wonder, why can they have some sort of harness belt around the rider's waist with bearings inside where he can spin his body 360 and the same mechanism on the hook that can vertically rotate 360 as well so his hands are free to do board grab etc
I really enjoyed your video Mrnes :) dope
