Now to the juicy stuff

What’s your take on how women are treated in todays surfing society? That all depends on what women you are talking about. World title winners are respected and everyone knows they shred. Then there is the type that is more known for their body rather than surfing.

Any bad habits? I eat A LOT

What do you enjoy most in your spare time (besides surfing)? I play soccer for a club team

Best advice for all those youngin surfers out there: Keep at it and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.

If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you be? That’s a tough one…. Either Nicaragua or Indo.
