Hahai no ka ua i ka ulula’au.

Translation: The rain follows after the forest.

Explanation: If you destroy the forest, the rains will cease to fall and the land will become a desert. without the forest soil will run into the ocean and killing our fish and reefs-the balance will be lost.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH TO RIDE?

Pretty much anywhere. You know, my favorites are temporary because each and every year I try to evolve through my experiences. I can’t commit to a single one.

IF YOU COULD PICK FOUR RIDERS (alive or dead) TO SNOWBOARD WITH, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHERE WOULD YOU GO?

Josh Malay, Nicolas Muller, Daniel Frank, and Ron Bureta, probably in Japan

WORST LIE YOU EVER TOLD YOUR MOM?

That I have never smoked weed.

WORST LIE YOUR MOM EVER TOLD YOU?

I was more Irish than I actually am.

MAC OR PC?

Mac

WOULD YOU RATHER BE SMART & UGLY OR DUMB & BEAUTIFUL?

Smart and humble, with a smile, rocking a hoodie, headphones and my sunglasses.

WHAT’S YOUR WORST HABBIT?

(Be Honest) Not following the universal system of time that the world refers to it as NOT being on time.

SUMMER TIME: SKATE, SURF, OR RIDE?

A steady mix of art, bike riding, screen printing, music creating, some skate, a surf week and coaching/shredding at Windell’s Camp at Mt. Hood.
