The Bayvi/Heavywater Magazine Paparazzi ContestInterview
How did you learn to surf?
When I was a grom at age 10, my brother tought me at waikiki queens on a 11 foot longboard!! I started super late, but now, I can't get enough of it!! I was scared of 1-2 foot waves, but now, I have no problem surfing bigger waves. My passion is surfing, and I thank everyone for helping me get to where I am at now in surfing, especially God.
Where is your "Home Break"?
I would have to say Ala Moana Bowls no question. I like The left, and I like the right when the left is crowded...It also helps out being my homebreak because I am only a minute walk from there.
Who was your first Sponsor?
When I was 14 I got picked up from a local surf shop in my area (Ala Moana) called Quality Surfboards Hawaii. I still ride for them, I recommend you buy things from there, really good stuff, and amazing deals!! Thanks Jason.
What boards do you ride?
What boards don't I ride? Haha, I got so many boards its crazy. I have to many so here are a few: 5'10" Eric Arakawa, 5'10" WSA, 5'11" WSA, 5'11" Eric Arakawa, 6'0" WSA, 6'0" Tokoro, 6'8 Tokoro semi-gun, 7'2 Al Merrick semi-gun.
Where is your favorite place to surf?
I love surfing sandbars Ehukai, or Pupukea. North Shore is an amazing place, surfing and community wise. Waves there are so sick, and those breaks are unbelievable.
