Moment you knew you were better than most of your friends: Most of my friends were all better than me growing up...so it motivated me to try and get better.

Moment you knew you wanted to go pro: Two years ago

Your family's reaction to you wanting to go pro: My parents have supported me since I started surfing...they wanted me to actually pursue my dream of becoming a pro surfer.

People's reaction when you tell them you're a pro: They usually think I mean an "Internet Surfer." I had a lady ask me how I made a living off the internet...I actually made up a story about me owning a multi-billionaire company. She bought it.

Jobs: I don't think I could do a real job...

First song you bought on iTunes: MIA

Last song you bought on iTunes: Lil' Wayne CD

How many myspace friends: Only a few

Airplane essentials: PSP and sleeping pills

Road trip essentials: Someone to tag along so I don't go insane.

Furthest you've traveled: Maldives. 24-hour flight to get there.

Longest you've been away: 1 month, soon to be two.

Career highlights: Tearing my MCLI. I realized how much I miss surfing and how bad I want to surf now that I can't for 6-8 weeks.

Biggest surprise from life on tour: I have learned some really good lessons traveling the world. Some good...some bad. Best one would be to never party in Bali for 8 days in a row.

Pro goals: Eventually try and make the tour...After that, well...I can't say how good I'll do...Everyone rips on that thing.

Career after pro life: Settle down somewhere quiet...Have my wife pop out a few kids...Enjoy my life as a family man and thank God everyday for the life He has given me...That might be too perfect though.

If you're not surfing, you're probably doing what: Making music at my house. I spent all my money on a home studio.

Heaviest influences: My local peers...Tim, Nathaniel, Dane, Bobby—guys like that.

Something most don't know about you: I have had a beard since I was 13. And I can skull a beer pretty quickly.
