Who inspires you: Too many to say. I’d have to say numerous people inspire because because each has a unique quality. I'm easily inspired by the simplest thing. But realistically my parents for the drive and will to work as much as they have to provide a great childhood for me. My girlfriend Missy for all her amazing organizational skills and drive to be the best. So many riders of different sports all play a role. Many of my close riding friends all inspire me because each one has a different view of riding and different style of riding.
What's your favorite thing about wake surfing: My favorite things about wake surfing is the endless wave that's created. I grew up skim boarding and ocean surfing and instantly fell in love with wake surfing. I love being able to teach people and see their smile when they get up their first time. So many parts of wake surfing I love I can't even mention them all.
Words of advice for up and coming riders: Words of advice? The major thing I learned was when I learned how to wake surf I had so much fun, then started to compete and be too serious about things. My riding style went down along with my happiness. I learned that even when in a competitive arena to keep it fun and you will always ride your best. This is why sometimes you'll see me doing things like wearing a sombrero during my run at the Supreme Wake Surf Championshop event we just had or wearing sunglasses with a built in mustache at the West Coast Open. I tell all these young kids, just remember this is fun and keep it FUN.
