Biggest influence in your life? I cant really say there is much influence in my life. I look up to a low of people but I want my life to be different not like someone’s life that I look up to.

Favorite Cereal? Best cereal ever is cinnamon toast crunch

Favorite Drink? Water. Don’t drink soda often.

Favorite album? A day to remember homesick.

Waffles or pancakes? Waffles are better by far my mom makes the best.

Favorite word? Legit or sick

How did you get into skimboarding? My dad got me into skimboards. When I was about 8 years old my dad made me a board in a shape like this ( ) and after a few throws I was hooked.

Favorite skim spot? Double Bluff on about a -2.0 tide is so sick its my favorite. Also where I grew up in California is nice too.

Where do you see skimboarding going? I hope that skimboarding will be an x-games sport in the near future. And having it as a worldwide known sport. Also to see it in spell checker.

Most memorable skimboarding experience? One day in summer it was like 70 degrees out and the tide was a negative 3.5 I got there with my rail early and rode in the skimboard pond when the tide was still going out. That day all my friends came and I landed my first 360 shuv-it and did a 180 on the rail. That day was the best.

Words of wisdom for other riders? You’re not going to land a new trick the first time. Practice makes perfect if you really care about the sport you will try to go skim all the time and that is what separates the best from the rest.
