Please describe your style of surfing: Surfing is for enjoyment, and everyone has a different opinion on how a wave should be surfed, so I consider myself to be like an artist when I surf. I use a wave as my canvas and paint it the way I visualize and feel a wave should be surfed.
Where is your favorite place to surf? It’s hard to say because I have had so many great sessions in my life.
Do you snowboard? Yep, and I do the meanest fingerless grabs.
If you could pick four people to go surf with, who would they be and where would you go?
My Dad, my best friend/sparring partner Jamie Meistrell, brother Christian Little, and Kelly Slater because it is always awesome to see him surf in person and see what he is riding.
What is the worst lie you ever told your mom? No, because I would feel to guilty if I did.
What is the worst lie she ever told you? Don’t call my mama a liar!
Mac or PC? Macs are over priced.
Would you rather be smart and ugly or dumb and beautiful? Well I am already beautiful, so that’s why I’m back in school to become smart.
What is your worst habit? I have a mustache right now, and I cant stop playing with it so it annoys the S*%T out of people.
Describe your perfect day of skateboarding: Probably just at the Venice park and then surfing breakwater right after so I can cool off.
