If you’re a Derome, you go on skis. Oli had no chance at a normal life growing up in a family of Canadian waterski champ, Julien Derome. The whole family was pushed to ski, but Oli was drawn to wakeboarding and the rest is history. With his notoriety, he became sponsored by Slingshot, Rockstar and Malibu where he traveled the world promoting wakeboarding and winning tournaments. But it’s Oli’s nurturing approach that separates him from other champions and his greatest value to his dealers. His deep involvement in coaching and mentoring aspiring riders translates directly to his success in expanding the Canadian and USA markets for the Follow brand. Oli’s life experience has led him to see the value of Montara’s unique configuration for everyone in the family, not just the riders. Canadian summers are short, so the boat must work for everyone on board to get the most from their day on the water. For Oli’s young family and his extended family (of expert skiers), the Montara is perfect! Not every family can claim to be the subject of independent film that chronicles their watersports journey, but the Derome family certainly can. Watch their full family story on Red Bull TV
