Biggest Accomplishment In Wakesurfing: 2023 CWSA World Champ (Outlaw Men’s Skim)
A Little Bit About Songkrod: "I've been involved in various water sports, including surfing, surfskating, flowriding, and wakesurfing. My journey began with surfing at a young age, and then I transitioned to competitive flowboarding. The COVID-19 pandemic led me to pivot to surfskating as a way to stay active. This new sport gained popularity in Thailand, but I had to take a break when I joined the military. Upon completing my service in 2022, I embarked on a new adventure in wakesurfing, finding fulfillment in this exhilarating water activity.
Before I started wake surfing, I competed in flowboarding just like Sean Silveira, and I became the world champion in 2019.
In just one year of riding, I clenched my first world title in theCWSA (2023) Outlaw division. This achievement is a testament to my hard work, determination, and unwavering passion for wakesurfing. I'm incredibly proud and excited to continue pushing my limits in the competitive wakesurfing scene."
