From accountant to drone pilot – Dave Av
I first met Dave Av almost 5 years ago. At the time he was working a ‘normal’ 9-5 job. However, shortly after he decided to take the leap into becoming a full time professional drone pilot. Fast forward a couple of years and he’s flying and filming for DJI Global. He mostly shoots wakeboarding but has tried other sports like snowboarding and kiteboarding, with the dream of one day filming the X-Games. I hope you enjoy the interview and thanks for watching.

I hope you enjoy the video. David Details

How I Prepare For a Competition – Wakeboarding
So, with little to no wakeboarding training in the weeks coming up to my first comp of the season (the European Pro Wakeboard tour), I decided to head out to SideWake for a few days to prep. Consistency in the game when it comes to comps and so I decided to work on that rather that bigger tricks. I hope you enjoy the video. David

What happened at Worlds?
So the IWWF worlds took place in Argentina. I had a chance of making finals, especially with all the practice on the RI237, but unfortunately I crashed on two toeside 900s.
Big congrats to Cory, Massi and Nic for 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Their double flips were insane! Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks, David
