How did you get into skim? I grew up skimboarding as a means to ride unsurfable waves that were too close to shore. wake surf? I started wakesurfing because it looked fun as hell !

One of the only riders who does not use a fin, why? I love the feeling of being finless. I'm used to riding waves finless because of skimboarding. It just seems right to me.

What's next? Hopefully traveling as much as possible. I'll be heading to Sean Cumming's event in Norcal. Can't wait!
