Darin also owns the premier wakeboard camp. Ride The Spot Where he trains 250 to 300 riders per year from around the world, including the best wakeboarders in the world such as Rusty Malinoski, Chad Sharpe, Dalas Friday and so many more. Along with his camp he owns his own board brand, Grindwater, and a production company "WAKETRIX" Which produces some of the best instructional DVD's in the wakeboard industry. Shapiro has appeared in most major Wakeboard movies and influenced the development of the sport. He is considered to be the first rider landing an Air Railey which was named after one of his coaches in Team Hyperlite. In the early days of wakeboarding Shapiro was riding for Herb O'Brian who founded Hyperlite. The noted "Hyperlite Pro" board was responsible for the tremendous growth of the sport and Shapiro contributed with his demonstrations of excellent riding. He plans on competing in all of the contests this year. He also has a huge European tour, which he will also be giving clinics during. These locations include Greece, France, Russia, (which is where they have the Shapiro Wake Cup) Italy, Singapore, and China.
