Where are you from?
Im from the Hibiscus Coast. A small east coast town on the North Island of New Zealand.
Favorite riding spot?
The lagoons of tahiti for the amazing location, and the lakes of Orlando cause thats we our sport is pushed by all the crew every day. Our sport is growing so fast just cause of all the crew that session so hard all the time on all the sick lakes around Orlando.. Its gehtto fabulous.
What's on your favorite iPod playlist?
Tool, Rob Zombie,DMX, Tom Petty, WolfMother and a ton of other really random music.
What pumps you up about riding?
Its the frustrution and the triumphs of succeding at learning new stuff. Getting smoked on a trick for so long and then finally stickin it, makes you feel so good. Watching other crew going out and killing it that pumps me up alot. Especially younger guys without the big names, like Kyle, man he impressed the hell out of me.. that kid has some skills and is so driven, makes me think back to when I was first coming through.
What else do you like to do OTHER than wakeboard?
All the board sports.. I live for it all. The lifestyle, the fun, the progression and how each different one feeds in someway or another of each sport.. Also anything thatll possible kill you.. but most likely give you the biggest rush of your life..
Any shout outs?
So many people have helped me out along the way, and im so greatful for the opportunity to live my dreams. To all the crew in New Zealand who have supported me, to all the hook ups and friends around the world, and to all the people that said i couldnt make it, You all have played a huge part in helping me be successful and im pumped about it.. I just want to spread the stoke!
Why do you like filming for videos, as opposed to contest riding?
I love both, but freedom, is the key, to be able to express your riding in a way that doesnt have to conform to anyone elses ideals or pressures, and thats what its all about.. there is no right or wrong way to do something.. its just styles.... make it your own.
