My name is Victor Daprile II, a.k.a. "Pal". I am 25 yrs old. I grew up with
a family that had a passion for water sports and have been going to the lake since I was in a car seat. I learned to water-ski at the age of 3 and
started wakeboarding at the age of 10. My father owned a water-ski businessfor 22 years in Youngstown, Ohio. His business gave me the opportunity to be around the best in the sport at a young age. I started competing at the age of 15 and continued until I suffered an injury to my MCL in 2003.

After a year long recovery I returned to the water and started teaching the
sport at our private lake, hosting clinics, and doing demos for various
events. I then began aggressively competing again a few years ago entering local competitions. I could not imagine doing anything other than
wakeboarding, it is my true passion. For this upcoming season I will be back on tour and pushing the sport to the next level.
