What comes with being a professional skimboarder?

Shells in my ears and hair all the time

Where do you think the future progression of our sport will occur?

Obviously skateboarding's increasing influence will continue to progress the sport. I think there is a huge possibility for skimboarding to progress going towards the "tow-at" or "winch" dealski. So many more places to ride that way

If you don't spend the day riding, what do you do?

Play drums or guitar, Surf, Try to make that paper, Put "ski" or "and junk" at the end of every word and junk.

If you had to pack up and leave in a hurry, what would you grab and where would head?

Boards, wetsuits, iPod, and some clothes. I would fly to the Bahamas

Who or what inspires you most?

Respect and talent. And I'm not trying to cop out but I really can't specifically say. Inspiration comes without warning and can leave just as fast.

Who do you look up to?

I look up to a lot of people. Mainly cuz I'm short but also cuz I have a lot of really talented people around me

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Doing what you absolutely love and getting paid with enough time to be with family and friends.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

I just got a Bachelor Degree in Marketing; that would have to be it

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

Realistically, California; Unrealistically, Cabo

What do you most value in your friends?

Never a dull momentski and junk.

What else do you do to help your skimboarding?

Surf, gym, wake-skim, wake-skate

Favorite skate film?

Almost Round3

Favorite skim film?

Soulag, I know it's an oldy-but-goody and cliché but that was the first skim movie I ever saw and it changed me and my skimming forever.

If you could have any other job in the world what would it be?

Ha ha Professional Rock Star or Pro Surfer.
