California Marine Sports would like to welcome Chris "Ollieshuvitz" Olesiewicz to the CMS Team.

Chris has been wakeskating for years and spreading his stoke to new riders non stop. He was the first to bring the winch to the west coast back in the mid 2000s, but also spends a lot of time riding behind his boat, seadoo, and at Wake Island Watersports.

This season you can find him riding the new 2013 Tao 39" by Obscura Wakeskates.
