اپنے کیریئر کے بارے میں ہمیں بتائیں.
I started windsurfing 32 years ago on Orcas Island, WA. It’s been one heck of a ride since and has shaped my life considerably from the cars I drive to the friends I have and the places I’ve lived. It’s been about staying close to windsurfing, keeping it fun and creating a life that allows me to sail often. Sometimes that meant living out of my van for many summers, having extra roommates on Maui, working two jobs etc. I always had to support myself 100%, nope, no trust fund or parental backing here folks, just a kid trying to follow his dreams.

What are some your favorite place to sail?
Kuau, Hookipa, The Gorge, سان کارلوس, Backyards.

آپ windsurf کرنے کے لئے دنیا میں کہیں بھی جا سکتی ہے تو, یہ کہاں ہو گا?
I just saw a video of Cabo Verde. That’s where I want to go….Baja and Maui are high on the list as well.

اپنے سپانسرز کون ہیں?
I have the best gear on the planet thanks to, Naish, چار, Chinook and Nolimitz. I’m due for a new Promotion suit though and some updated Dakine gear…(hint). Huge thanks to all these guys because without them I’d have to work three jobs.

آپ کی پریرتا d کیا ہیں?
I get inspiration of some kind from just about everyone I know but Robby Naish was my earliest inspiration and still is to this day. Victor the Inflictor cause he charges the fun side of life like no one I’ve seen. I am mostly inspired by those that have created a life to revolve around a passion.

What is your favorite part about competing on the AWT?
The people involved. The new, the old and the nuts that make competing a blast. And of course showing the young guns a thing or two..;-) There are a few guys that I’ve been competing with for almost 20 years and it’s been like a reunion of sorts when I go to an AWT event. It’s awesome, the sport and the people in it are what keeps me coming back for more.

اپنے مقاصد کے لئے کیا ہیں 2012?
To make it the best year ever.

حکمت کے الفاظ?
Be with people you love, live where you love, follow your passions, say yes, be thankful, when life feels comfortable go faster, jump higher and ride bigger waves.
