Froggy Soven, who's real name is Phillip, has been on the pro wakeboard tour since he was 11. Since then, he's been a huge crowd favorite at every event because of his age and his style. He finished in the top ten at several events in his first pro season and he ended up thirteenth overall on the 2001 Pro Wakeboard Tour.

At the age of 15, Froggy placed third in the World Cup Series, second in the Triple Crown series and won a Gold Medal in the X-Games.

So how did Froggy get his nickname? "I'm not really sure how that started. I think it had something to do with me and the water and jumping. All I know is everyone's been calling me Froggy since I was about six years old," he says.

Soven now seems to be passing on his frog-like qualities to his younger brother, Robert. He is nicknamed Tadpole and is one of the stars on the U.S. Junior Wakeboarding tour.
