Placing 3rd at Worlds my first year pro, 2nd the following year, and winning various competitions in between. I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished. Although, my real passion is sharing my excitement for surfing with others. I love traveling around the country for Brave the Wave, an organization who teaches people with physical disabilities how to wakesurf, teaching private lessons, or even just getting people out on the water in my home state. Seeing people’s enthusiasm when they first get up on a board reminds me to enjoy the little things about surfing and to not take it so seriously. Every time I ride my only real goal is to have fun. And that’s taken me further than anything else.
