What got you started surfing-I always wanted to learn how to surf & finally, 2.5 years ago my ex-roommate took me surfing.

What keeps you surfing- It's the most amazing thing for me- it's relaxing, it keeps my mind/head clear...and of course this "rush"...

Most memorable surf- Maui (Puamana Park)- 2nd week of October, 2002. Overhead- warm water..beautiful.

Dream surf trip, whether you've already taken it, or dream of going- Maui (i love it ). Costa Rica (is supposed to great).

Favorite break- Sunset!, Malibu (when it's not crowded!), Saladita/Mexico, Maui (Puamana Park).

How has surfing changed you- It has changed a lot for me. I try to surf every morning and its just the best way to start you day. It's relaxing. You have time to think about everything, and it just makes my day!

What do you do when there are no waves- Still try to find waves somewhere. If there's nothing I go rollerblading.
