Let's make this birthday one to remember.

28 years old (Born on October 12, 1996)

Happy Birthday, Paulie Koch! From shredding waves since you were eight to becoming the wakeboarding wonder kid who conquered the Under-13 Boys 2010 Rockstar WWA Wakeboard World Championships, you've always made a splash—literally. You've soared high with Liquid Force and rocked wetsuits for Body Glove, proving that gravity is merely a suggestion when you're on the water.

Here's to another year of epic flips, jaw-dropping tricks, and making everyone else look like they're just floating around in kiddie pools. Keep riding those waves of success—just remember us mere mortals cheering from shore. Have an awesome birthday, champ!
