- FAVORITE TRICK
- Been working on this frontside grab rail carving reverse that I think really emulates ocean surfing. Otherwise, my favorite is a backside air reverse.
- IDEAL DAY
Warm evening out on Lake Nacimiento, no wind, not a drop out of place hanging out and riding with my best friends. That’s what boating has always been about for me.
- PLANS THIS YEAR
I hope to continue traveling the world, spreading the love of wake surfing and enjoying this blessed life that I live!
- HOBBIES
I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, master of none. I love to ocean surf, ride motocross, mountain bike, skateboard, snowboard, snow ski, build off-road trucks, welding fabrication, wood working, anything mechanical or that i get to expand my knowledge and use my brain.
