Career Highlights

Getting the call to be a part of the Dream Team: The Nautique Team! Nautique has always been the company I dreamed to ride for and now that I’m a part of it, I’m speechless and forever grateful for this opportunity!

Favorite Trick

It depends on the day, but right now I’m loving the feeling of a backside full rotation! Just thinking about it gets me hyped right now haha.

Annual Event Highlight

I always look forward to competing at the Nautique Masters Wakesurf Championships. From the venue to the people and vibes, it’s just a rad comp! I also have a blast at the Nautique Regattas! The Nautique family is unrivaled!

Get To Know Joey

Favorite Nautique athlete to surf with

Man, it’s so tough to choose just one, especially since I’ve gotten the opportunity to ride/hang with everyone. Seriously y’all, we have the best team in the industry and we all get along so well and always have the best times! Alright, if I had to choose, I’d say Noah or John because we all like to go big and I feel like we push each other to reach new heights!

Most difficult thing you’ve ever done

Physically, the most difficult thing I’ve done is a 7 Day Fast. No food just water and salt. It was pretty tough, but getting through the hard things usually ends up being the best thing for us. It’s a great reset for your body, so I think I’m gonna do it again this year. Another difficult moment in my life was leaving behind friends and family in my hometown in California to move to Missouri. My family and I knew nothing about the area. Looking back, though, it was the best decision for so many reasons. I’m so grateful to God for leading my family there!

Most rewarding part of your job

Getting to share the joy of being on the water and witnessing the stoke on people’s faces when they get to ride an endless wave. The fact that this is my job still blows my mind and I’m forever grateful for this opportunity to share the love of watersports with others!

If you could give someone one piece of advice, what would it be?

Don’t care so much about what other people think of you. This one is tough, and I definitely struggle with it, but it’s so important and will make you feel more joy and show people your true self. Because in the end, it doesn’t matter what others think of you, it only matters what God sees in you. And He sees His child that was made in His image. How beautiful and amazing is that!

Favorite feature on the Nautique you surf behind

You already know haha: THAT WAVE!! Seriously though, I’ve ridden pretty much every wakesurf boat out there and nothing compares to the Nautique wave. From the power to the boost and length, it just can’t be beat! Not only that, but the fit and finish of the Nautiques is second to none and you can really tell they take great pride in their boats. I also love what the company stands for: To Build Boats for the Glory of God!

Hobbies outside of wakesurfing

Shoot I’ve got a lot of hobbies haha: Jiu Jitsu, skateboarding, mountain biking, dirtbikes, riding my Harley, foiling, wakeskating, and guitar. I pretty much love everything active and outdoors!

Essentials for a day on the water

Good conditions (okay fineee, that’s not an essential, but it is nice lol), good people, good vibes, of course my G23, full tank of gas, good music, my Hyperlite Pro Model: The MOAB, coconut water, and regular water.

Who is your role model

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life and left us a blueprint for how to treat others and live our lives as He did!

An interesting fact that most people don’t know about you

I have my own Wakesurf School on my home lake (Table Rock Lake) in Missouri. I started that in 2024, and I’m having a blast teaching others and helping them dial in their skills wakesurfing! My business is called: JH3 Surf Academy and here’s my website with all the info: www.JH3surf.com

Favorite Music to Play on Your Nautique

This is also an ever-changing list, but here’s what they are now:

  1. “We Believe” - Newsboys
  2. “Don’t We” - Morgan Wallen
  3. “Careless Whisper” - George Michael (Trust me, this song will get you fired up lol)
