Teacher: My dad.
Travel: Nah, I haven’t been doing much traveling lately.
Favorite experience: Uh, surfing rocky rights in Hawaii with one of my good friends, Noah Erickson. It was only us out for three hours and it was doubly over head barrels with a slight offshore wind.
Favorite ‘CTer: I’m a big Slater fan and I want him to win this year, but I think Andy’s style is the best. I wanna surf most like him.
Style comparison: I hope it looks a little like Andy’s. I don’t know. I don’t watch much footage of myself, so I can’t tell.
Competition: The NSSA Nationals. I got 3rd in Open Juniors. And a Volcom contest in Huntington. I made a few rounds.
What aspect of surfing is most important to you? Competition is the most important in my life, but traveling and free surfing is probably the most fun.
“He has the style and power of a grown man, and knows how to effectively use it. By far, the best kid in San Diego County.” - Willie Smith, Chemistry Surfboards.
