The surf is flat. What are you going to do with yourself? I like to train, ride my bike, hang out with my friends, and party!

What’s up with surfing now and where is the future headed? 
I think the progression is going good. It needs to get more main stream so we can start making more money! I think it’s only going to go up from here. Who knows what’s next. I’m curious to see what happens.

Where does the West Coast and California fit into the World's surf scene?   The West Coast and California is the surf scene! Every important surf company is in Cali.

Who’s holding it down in your local surf scene, and who do you look up to? There is a lot of talent in S.D. from Rob Machado, Taylor Knox, and Benji Weatherly, to all the young up and comers. I look up to everybody that is going for it and trying to make something for themselves and not just sitting around.

Who has helped you get to where you are today? My MOM! She has helped me more then anybody! Also my Dad, and my brothers and sisters. And, of course, all my sponsors.

Well it's time for you to go bro, which way will it be, shark attack or lightning bolt?  Lightning bolt! It’s my nightmare to get attacked by a shark!
