Here is the a video of 13 year old Ben Kaiser destroying both the Advanced WakeBoard & WakeSkate Bliss Contests
That took place on June 4th 2006 at Tower Lake in Oldsmar, Florida.

Highlights:
WakeBoard: 540 during his run & a 540 off the Double up

WakeSkate: 180 nose grab wake 2 wake & a huge HS Back-Side 360 off the double up beating 16 other top wakeskaters

He just took 3rd in Pro WakeSkate in Minnesota on the 2nd Pro Tour Stop which Brian Grubb took 1st and George Daniels finished 2nd. 06-11-06
Ben said his win at Bliss pumped him up for the Minnesota tour stop.

i've never really seen somebody look that comfortable on a board. he was just really in command of his riding. very impressive. i guess we'll be seeing more of him in the future.

I'm going to assume those were X-Star double-ups. Good lord.

crap, i have a wakesetter and my double-ups never look that sweet. i guess i need to learn how to drive them a little better. what model/year was it and how much weight?

and you swear that kid is only 13? that's amazing being that good at two unique sports at the same time

also not to take away from him, granted he's an awesome rider especially for age 13 but i personally don't like his style. it's very wes briscoe-esque. i mean people said phillip soven didnt have style at age 13 either so maybe style comes with age. i also noticed that he spins the same way soven used to, he could only spin in one direction so when you would spin frontside, it would be switch. just an interesting similarity between the two of them
sick riding though for sure

notice how he edges in...so freaking agressive like he is on a wakeboard.
that one Wake2Wake after the turn around he went way out into the flats.
imagine how sick ben will be in 5 years.
when ben was 11 and focused just on wakeboarding he use to wakeskate just to switch up and he was sticking W2W grabs. You either got it or you don't and he has it. shocks, pegs-Lucky!

wakesetter 2005
we had 5 people in the boat
no extra fat sacks just the boat sacks
when you drive a double-up do you do a perfect P or do you
|> make that shape?
drive a P and you won't go wrong

I feel your point, he is very technical now. Style comes w/ age and his style will only get more agressive. Ben can throw the sickest BS 180. not that big of a trick but very hard to stick and when you do it big w/ style like randall harris or jeff solie it looks so sweet.

peace out guys I'm clocking out & going home

yeah darin shapiro also caused him to have a distinct style of riding similar to his own Confused

i sure wouldnt mind being coached by pros though that's for sure, even if it was bootcamp style

it's funny cause ben put wakeboarding on the back-burner to focus on wakeskating and then at the bliss contest he signed up at the last secodn for the advanced wakeboard contest and stuck 2 540's like it was nothing w/ one of them off the double-up.

he is also a very humble dude and doesn't brag about what he can do, he just lets his riding speak for himself. In 5 years I believe ben will be great role model for the sport of wakeskating, for the kids that are his age right now.

Ben is growing like a weed due to his intense wakeboard/wakeskate training.

below are some pics showing how fast his body is changing to try to keep up w/ his intense training everyday.
