"I started my sponsorship with Centurion Boats in 2006, when I was competing in wakeskating," she says. She was living in Orlando, Florida, at the time, and traveled to Clear Lake (in Lake County, Northern California) for Centurion's annual photoshoot. "That's where I first saw wakesurf- ing, at the World Wakesurfing Championships." She'd never attempted the sport before, but that competitive spirit kicked in. "Just watching, I knew I could beat all of them the next year." And she did. In fact, she's still winning. "Bri is one of the most driven professional athletes I've ever met," says Todd Gaughan, vice president of marketing for Centurion Boats. "She is also the owner of the biggest comeback in the history of her spor t." This was during 2013 World Wakesurfing Championship at Lake Las Vegas. 084-088 Bri_152-161 Garcia story 4/21/14 10:45 AM Page 4
