Tell us about yourself:
Var kommer du ifrån?

Berätta om din karriär.
I think I’m still processing it. It’s been quit a ride. I’ve been able to see a good chunk of the world which I’m very grateful for. Windsurfing to me represents my friends my life the places I’ve seen and the moments I’ll never forget. It’s more then a sport I’ve always felt that.

What are some your favorite place to sail?
I love riding Punta Preta that wave is a machine. It feels like a machine the way it breaks. It’s like riding a super pipe with clean walls and big sections for airs it’s such a rush. We found some waves that are real similar in The Marshall Islands. I love the westside on Maui too even though it hardly ever works.

Om du kunde åka någonstans i världen att vindsurfa, var skulle det vara?
J-Bay South Africa I’ve always wanted to have a stab at that wave windsurfing.

Vilka är dina sponsorer?
Red Bull, Oxbow, Goya Sails, Quatro international, MFC and Positive H2O

Vilka är dina inspirationskällor?
There’s so much inspiration out there! For me it’s always a few snowboarders or surfers mixed with my favorite music I take that feeling to the water. Lately just seeing the mix of tricks and slashes at Ho’okipa has been unreal. The level is through the roof it’s a different sport today.

Vad var din favorit del om konkurrera på AWT förra året?
I haven’t done an event yet but I look forward to Santa Cruz and being part of the AWT.

Vilka är dina mål för 2012?
Love for the sport and the people in it! Just push hard on the water and be a good ambassador whenever and wherever I can.

Visdomsord?
You don’t know unless you try. We have one life on this Earth make it count!
