Alright I have always wondered how much in a range do pro wakeskaters make a year? I know wakeboarders make way more, especially in tournaments. How do they afford lakefront homes? Sorry I am a bit nossy but I've always wondered. Anyone on here able to answer my questions? If so it would be greatly appriciated.

In more cases then not they are brought up in wealthy homes and they have access to boats and water. Im not saying this is the case for all of them but id definatly say more than half

Don't alot of people live together too? Or atleast with someone else until they can afford their own home?
