Worst Time You Got in Trouble: Egging cars the night before I was leaving for Oz when I was 15. My friends ratted me out when they got caught, so I got arrested and almost didn't get to go. The people made me wash their cars and do some lawn work the next day.

Your Strongest Maneuver: Probably my duck dive, i get pretty deep on them these days
My Car: About to buy either a Tacoma or Magnum
If I Didn't Surf: I'd be like the guy from Good Will Hunting - a math genius. I am good at counting numbers, but would be even skinnier than I am now and really pail.
I Love Boogie Boarding Because: My style is better laying down then standing up.
Something I Suck at: Ten pin bowling - I am hopeless. Also, most things besides surfing and even I am not even that great at it.
Best Joke to Play on Someone: Put a roofie in their drink ha ha ha...Nah maybe just unscrew their fins before a surf that makes the lineup a bit less crowded for a while.
Words of Wisdom: Never play leap frog with a unicorn.
Lesson Learned the Hard Way: In mexico I took off with my board backwards on a one foot wave. The board landed with fins up and I ended up with slices in my butt and a broken magic board. Worst idea ever.
How Fun are Bios? About as much fun as getting dropped in on.
People that Annoy You: Old guys out at trestles and people that stand up paddle and think they're Laird Hamilton
