Hometown: Originally from Oahu, Hawaii. I now reside in Vero Beach, Florida.
Local Surf Spot: Sebastian Inlet
Years Surfing: 18 Solid Years
Years Skateboarding: 19 Solid Years
Arbor Preferred Skateboard Quiver: I like the Pin Koa for long distance cruises, the Hybrid GT for skate parks, and the GB Sizzler for fitting into tight pockets and carving around bowls.
Other Sponsors: Matt Kechelle Surfboard Shapes & Designs, Freak Traction, Arnette Eyewear, DNA Energy Drink, Kulcha Shok Muzik.
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.
Years Skateboarding: Didn’t learn to push until I was 18 years old in 2007
Arbor Preferred Skateboard Quiver: The Assault, Hybrid and the new team board that is coming soon.
Please describe your style of skateboarding: Flowing, technical, fast and sideways.
Where is your favorite place to skateboard? If I told you I’d have to kill you.
Do you surf? Learning.
Do you snowboard? Oh yeah!
If you could pick four people to go skate with, who would they be and where would you skate? Adam Colton, Rodney Mullen, Patrick Rizzo and Team Arbor in Outer Space.
What is the worst lie you ever told your mom? Don’t worry, I have it under control.
What is the worst lie she ever told you? That stuff will put holes in your brain!
Mac or PC? PC
Would you rather be smart and ugly or dumb and beautiful? Smart and ugly.
What is your worst habit? Getting too stoked all the time.
Describe your perfect day of skateboarding: Hitching runs all day with a buddy and eating wild fruit.
Please describe your style of skateboarding: I pick the fun lines over the fastest lines typically, do lots of stand up slides, and throw in some style if I can manage it.
Where is your favorite place to skateboard? California.
Do you surf? It takes a huge back seat to skateboarding, but every once in a while.
Do you snowboard? I’d like to try, but even when I go to Mammoth I end up skating half the time.
If you could pick four people to go skate with, who would they be and where would you skate? Too damn hard to pick four people, why not share the love?
What is the worst lie you ever told your mom? I already did all my homework in class.
What is the worst lie she ever told you? Of course I was watching!
Mac or PC? Currently have a Mac.
Would you rather be smart and ugly or dumb and beautiful? Smart and beautiful, is that not an option?
What is your worst habit? I can’t sit still.

HOME MOUNTAIN: Bear Mountain
YEARS SNOWBOARDING: Probably 8?
SETUP: Goofy, 22″, +9 -9, any board from 150-159, centered for park and setback stance for pow (gotta do it, it’ll change your life!)
ARBOR PREFERRED QUIVER: Wasteland 155 and any of The System boards over 156 in deep snow, and something small and soft for jibbing.
OTHER SPONSORS: Smith, Active and Bear Mountain
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH TO RIDE? Bear Mountain everyday and a couple places in Tahoe when the sky takes a big white dookie.
IF YOU COULD PICK FOUR RIDERS (alive or dead) TO SNOWBOARD WITH, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHERE WOULD YOU GO? Can’t choose just four so I’ll pick a couple heroes and a couple homies: Travis Parker, Gigi Ruf, Gabe Taylor, Nicolas Mueller, Party Girl Patricia Lynch, Young Zakary Halestorm, Ian Samuelson, Phil Bro/Phil Po, Josh Shaheen, MaDeezin Brendan Drury, Brenadan Hayesface, D-Con, Taylor Carlton, The Flying New Mexican a.k.a. Brandon Cocard, and the good ole Farmageddon. Anywhere with any of these people would be an epic time, but lets say somewhere in the interior of B.C. riding waist deep!
WORST LIE YOU EVER TOLD YOUR MOM? Probably making fake progress reports and weekly grade printouts in High School so I wouldn’t get grounded.
WORST LIE YOUR MOM EVER TOLD YOU? Who Knows, shes pretty honest. I’d rather just believe what she says than question it.
MAC OR PC? Macintosh
