VISION


OUT THERE!
Hey, thanks for checking out the site! My name is Matthew Barnhart, or Matt for short!
I'm a Southwest Florida native with a passion for open exploration and the outdoor lifestyle. With over 3 years of experience in the PWC industry, my passion for creativity, combined with my love for personal watercrafts allows me to experience the endless thrill while documenting it simultaneously.
Throughout my adventures, I encourage you to check out my channels to learn more about the PWC life and all the adventures that come along with it!
WELCOME TO
THE WAKE

PWC | TRAVEL | MEDIA
For the last decade, I’ve owned and operated a media agency in Fort Myers, Florida. Creativity has flowed through my veins for years, and Amp Shots Media allowed me the opportunity to pay my bills and create an esteemed career path. Once I found how much of a thrill jet skis and personal watercrafts were I wanted to blend both of my loves together and thus Paid Creator was found.
What I didn’t realize when I dove into the world of jet skis was the immense community that supports it. Most people think of jet skis or PWCs as toys or non-essential luxuries. While for most people this may be true, for me, I don’t think I will ever not have a ski in the arsenal. With the traveling, the learning, and the memories that have come along with ownership of a jet ski , I don’t think I could go without that.
Most people don’t realize that I’m half blind. Although I do have full color and vision signal in my left eye, scarring and deterioration has made it difficult for reliable vision to be had from that eye. I’ve had multiple surgeries to rectify my vision, but that hasn’t stopped me from pursuing my dreams. As I’ve always said, my eyesight may be off, but my future is in full focus.

The ride wouldn’t be the same without the brands that share my passion for water, adventure, and lifestyle.
