Born in Lake Tahoe, Darley was on a wakeboard before he was in kindergarten.. At the tender age of 13, Darley was ranked #1 in the Indiana INT intermediate juniors division. He finished that season ranked #8 nationally. Taking the runner up spot in the 2006 Lake Mead double up toss up competition (outlaw division), he’s primed and ready this year with the backing of his newest sponsor, Las Vegas Watersports.
