Please describe your style of surfing: I would like to think my surfing style is somewhat of a mix between power and originality.

Where is your favorite place to surf? My favorite place to surf in Florida is Sebastian Inlet, but my favorite to surf in the world is Pipe and Backdoor.

Do you snowboard? I don’t snowboard a lot anymore, but I used to when I lived in New York for 3 years.

If you could pick four people to go surf with, who would they be and where would you go? Kelly Slater because watching him free surf is like nothing from this world. Duke Kahanamoku because he is the man who first brought surfing all around the world. CJ Hobgood because he is my favorite surfer especially in the barrel. Lastly I would bring my good buddy, Eric Geiselman because we were born an hour apart from each other and when we get a chance to surf together it’s always a good session.

I would have to take them to Greenbush! The new wave that got created after the Tsunami in Indonesia. Mainly because I haven’t been there yet and the wave just looks so perfect yet so hard at the same time. And crazy left barrels are the best thing ever.

What is the worst lie you ever told your mom? Don’t think I can tell yah the worst one but maybe telling her I wasn’t going out to drink when I was a little 17 year old punk.

What is the worst lie she ever told you? Don’t really know any of the lies she told me she is very sneaky. HAHA.

Mac or PC? PC can’t afford a MAC just yet but soon I hope.

Would you rather be smart and ugly or dumb and beautiful? Smart and ugly. If you are smart you should be able to make a good chunk of money. And the weird looking guys always seem to have the hottest chicks in the clubs mainly because they have cash.

What is your worst habit? I bite the shit out of my finger nails when I am bored.

Describe your perfect day of skateboarding: A perfect day of skateboarding for me would be at a cement park with a bunch of hips and slight inclines. So I could have a bunch of speed and carve around the park all day long on a sick mini longboard skate.
