Phillip Thomas has been wakeboarding for 26 years and is a certified water sports instructor with seven years of experience. Starting at 14 with his first wakeboard, Phillip learned the sport behind a 1982 GlassMaster with a 115hp Johnson outboard motor. Friends with top-tier wakeboarding boats encouraged him to skip college organic chemistry classes to wakeboard, where he mastered over 25 different flips and spins.
Phillip is also passionate about outdoor adventure, enjoying activities such as water sports, fishing, camping, and kiteboarding. An extreme sports enthusiast, he is a skydiving instructor with over 500 skydives, including wingsuit jumps, hot air balloon jumps, and a BASE jump off the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia.
Currently teaching Outdoor Education at Meadow Glen Middle School in Lexington, SC, Phillip holds a Doctorate Degree in curriculum and instruction. He is also an SCDNR boater education instructor and an American Heart Association CPR/First Aid instructor.
