No other wakeskater from Germany has had such a big influence within the sport, as Andy Kolb did over the last two decades. For now Andy says “Goodbye” to wakeskating with this clip from his last laps at Thai Wake Park.

“These are some of my last laps for a couple of years. Due to a wakeskate injury in 2003 I will have to undergo a few surgeries to correct the length of my leg and the angles of my knee.
