Obviously BT and Grubb are much better riders so Kallas didn't make the cut for hyperlite
He was the best rider on both hyperlite and byerly. It's crazy how he didn't blow up. Unless the other riders used their seniority to get more coverage and force him out so they could keep their jobs.
Maybe he will end up on Aphid! Trav, stu, and Kallas all had similar situations. They were the young new wave of riders helping make the wakeboard company skates look legit, but then they vanish. |

Wakemitch, is your post fact or speculation? If it's the latter, it's putting the aforementioned riders in an odd position that may not have any truth to it. I don't see either of those dudes trying to "force" a rider out.
Chris has a fairly inactive instagram account. I was browsing on dean smith's insta and he had a photo and short video of chris from within the past year. I love the way he pops his tricks. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

Its so funny Kallas got brought up this weekend while I was riding with some buddies, he was the first one to really start hammering out the back bigger spins and 540 big spins and making them look stylish without spinning on the water. Its nuts how much board control he has and those 3 flip are unmatched. I hope some1 can shed some light on this guys disappearance! |

Yea, its a sick shot and awesome boats.
Someone in the Aussie wake scene needs to hit up Kallas and get him back on a skate or at least some pictures/video _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |

When I showed up at Summer Jam '012 at Bli Bli, a year after roadtripping around Oz with Kallas, everybody started asking me where he was. It'd been a year since I said goodbye to the Land Down Under, and the Australians were asking me where Kallas was I hadn't heard from him since I left...
He was really fun to hang out with & epic to watch ride. That was definitely one of the raddest months of my life... Hope he's doing well, wherever he is

Kallas is like...the new cole munster.
But with popped tricks, and not lip tricks.
Great shots nick. I don't know if this was the trip with the drifting down undah videos, but I especially like part two of that series and it leaves me envious. Thank you for the inspiration! _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

wakemitch, who do you think got Kallas on hyperlite? Pretty gnarly accusation to throw around there. Grubb and BT helped the dude out a ton. On a side note. Should make a findkallas hashtag. |

don't worry guys he is alive and well, he still wake skates on his hyperlite, but not a whole lot, he lives outside of sydney, my buddy tim went wake skating with him recently. lets get some animal chin shirts made up with kallas face on it. "have you seen him??" _________________ shred till ur dead |

Ha! That's a great idea matty_edwards!
I hope someone makes a video during chris's stay. Maybe dj drop top will do that. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |
