Where do you call home and do you spend much time there?

How old were you when you first tried wake surfing and how did you get introduced?

Wake surfing has gained a lot of momentum the last few years. What is your view on the contest scene and do you see it continuing to grow?
The contest scene is still getting bigger. Hard to draw attention to wakesurfing cause it’s hard to see from the shore. With enough advertisements and good locations for tournaments I could definitely see it becoming bigger.

What has been the most noticeable change in wake surfing in the last five years?
The most noticeable change has been the waves behind the boats. With the transfer systems and quick filling bags it makes wakesurfing effortless. The waves are also getting bigger.

Do you have a home lake or somewhere that brings good vibes when you surf?
So I grew up wakesurfing in the Delta, so that is always comforting to be back where I started. Also I love Roland’s Lake cause that’s where I first started wakesurfing.

What are your plans for 2016?
Keep traveling and going on surf trips. I am always surfing or snowboarding. I am getting my real estate license in the winter as well.
