Julia Shevchenko
My name is Julia Shevchenko, but everyone calls me JuJu.
For the first time I tried Wakesurfing in 2017 , when I moved to Dubai and almost straight away I felt that it’s something more then a hobby for me.
Step by step I started training and participating in a competitions.

Beside my work as an athlete I am representing Wakesurf School- Wake Dubai , where over the past 2 years I had more than 3000 students from all over the world, as Wakesurfing is growing so rapidly. I am happy to be part of this growth and to bring to UAE culture of taking classes with great riders, who I am inviting in order to give the best opportunities to learn for our students.
My dream to Open my School came true and now « JuJu Wake Club » welcomes riders from all over the world to train and enjoy a warm Wake in Dubai.
I am very glad to be part of Kanuk Team it always feels great to be part of some big and to feel support of the Team Riders.
