Favorite Food: Old fashion BBQ & anything Mom cooks.

Strongest Maneuver:  Frontside off-the-lip snap with lots of speed and power. Although, if there was only one maneuver I could do, I would have to say a nice big tube. It has always been and will always be the greatest feeling in surfing.

Strongest Influence: My family and friends. When I was younger, Kelly Slater was my greatest influence as well as Tom Carroll and people I saw at the beach. Nowadays, it is funny because most of my friends are the ones that influence my surfing, like all the Malibu and Ventura boys. Guys like Shea and Cory Lopez, the Irons brothers, Kalani Robb, Kelly Slater and Justin Golnik. I appreciate good, solid surfing.

Goals: To always be happy with what I do and where I am going. To push my surfing to higher levels with bigger airs, bigger turns and bigger tubes. In the future I want to run a successful business, surf forever and Be Happy!

Advice to Groms: You can do or be anything you want in life. All you need is the desire to do so. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Surfboard Quiver: My favorite board is a 6'2" zx 18" x 2 1/8" and a 6'4" x 18" x 2 1/4" shaped by Chris Stezel of Stone Tylyer Shapes. My quiver consists of a few 6'2"s, a couple of 6'4"s, a 6'8", 6'9", 7'3", 8'0", 8'6", and a 9'6". All are relatively the same thickness and width (2 1/4" and 18"), except for my boards that are 7'6" and bigger. They are usually thicker and wider.
