Title
Wakeboard School with Dean Lavelle
Description
After winning the Worlds in 93, Dean began his 5 year reign as one of the best in the World. Taking the SeaDoo Expression Session in 1994 and the Behind the Boat Expression Session in 1995 made way for his victory in the WWA Pro Tour Worlds in 1996. Dean also finished in the top 5 at X-Games in 96, 97 and 98.
While competing and training Dean found time to appear in several wakeboarding videos including Switch, Switch22, Hit It and Skurfs Up. During his professional career he would also find himself making the cover of National and International industry magazines including Wakeboard Magazine USA/Japan , Level 10 and Water Ski Magazine. Water Ski magazine did an article where he was referred to as "Mr. Everything" as he was so accomplished on most if not all water disciplines. He even found his way into a few commercials that aired nationally. At one time you couldn't pick up a wakeboarding magazine without seeing Dean's name or face somewhere inside.
As part of the Hyperlite family Dean had his own signature boards including the Lavelle and the Latitude. He was one of the first riders to push Hyperlite into the development of the Boot/Binding. He was also instrumental in the research and development in the evolution of the wakeboard. Switching endorsement to Neptune boards, Dean found himself in a similar role in R&D of Neptune Bindings. Universal still utilizes Dean's design on their current line of bindings.
