What are your favorite SurfCo products? |
|
I like the 4.25 Performance Fins because of the flex, weight, and spring of the bottom turn, and also because of the safety. One day I was surfing a gnarly shore brake wave with my Pro Teck fins. I pulled into a close out barrel and fell on my back onto the fins, luckily I had the Pro Teck fins. The rubber around the edges saved me from getting stabbed by the fin. And no surfer can live without Quick Fix. It is the best product made for a beach repair, and it works great! |
What are your surfing plans this year? |
|
To make top 5 in the finals of all the NSSA, HASA and HGA Maui events, also to maybe get some publicity in our local surf magazines. I have been on 3 Windsurfing magazine covers, 8 double page spreads and most recently a 10 page article in Windsurfing magazine, but I have only gotten two picture in Free surf magazine surfing. |
Best wave you ever caught? |
|
October 14, 2008: I was at Honokahau on a 5ft Hawaiian wave and I got a good deep barrel to the point where I couldn't see out the end of the barrel, but I traveled out of it then did a few Snaps and cut backs. |

Punalau and Honokahau, and on a big day I love Honolua Bay. |
Who is inspires you? |
