Most people would assume maternity leave is something that only applies to work. Unfortunately, for Lex Balladon it applied to all things wakeboarding too. After the arrival of her son Ethan last year, Lex took a necessary and thankfully brief hiatus from the water. But now she is back and smashing up the cable parks better than ever.
In her latest edit she joined the rest of her Watersports World UK team down at Club Wake Park in Northamptonshire to shred and film together as part of the team's 2014 shoot. Not one to just stand back and let others outdo her, Lex stepped it up joining in with the guys hitting some pretty technical rails put in place for the shoot and throwing her first kicker to rail transfer. In her words, "She got balls."
So take a look at the edit, sit back and enjoy with Lex’s effortless style and her ever-present elegance on and off the water, and proving that for the sports that we love, nothing keeps us off the water for very long at all!
