“I wanted to create a platform and a project for the girls that’s going to be timeless and online and for everyone to see forever. It was an idea, in a way, for me to push the girls and motivate them to progress their riding harder than what they’ve ever done in the past.”
Those words from wakeboarding superstar Amber Wing laid out the mission statement, so to speak, for “Sets In Motion,” the game-changing women’s wakeboard series. The call to action was declared: “send us your footage!” Ten episodes later, new talent has been found and showcased, and women’s wakeboarding has finally been given a platform on which to shine. Now, the pinnacle of the project: the “Sets In Motion” Movie. Splicing together the best action from the series with plenty of new footage, the movie brings a fitting close to what should become the preeminent showcase for the women of wakeboarding.
