What’s your home break?
My super cool dad and brothers taught me how to surf when I was 5 years old at a wave called Pillbox.
What’s your favorite wave?
Lakey Peak. Or any waves in Indonesia, really. I keep trying to steer away from that answer, but I can't help returning to this place every year!
What’s your favorite board?
The very first boards I had shaped by my sponsor, Ghost Shapes from Oceanside, CA, were probably the best. They are both 5'9" with one featuring a round pin and the other a squash tail. These boards have gotten me some of the best waves of my life.
What’s your favorite Oy piece?
I honestly can’t choose, I love them all. But if I really had to, it would probably be the “Tope” bottoms and the “Esox” top in any color! They just don't ever come off when surfing.
Who is the most inspiring surfer you look up to and why?
This is odd to say, but I don’t really have one. I mean, there are many surfers I absolutely enjoy watching, but I don't really “look up” to many, maybe because I don’t feel like I know much about them and their stories?
What is your connection/relation to Oy?
I started working with Oy about six years ago. A woman from a nearby town, who I didn’t know was watching my surfing videos on Instagram, turned out to be the Oy representative for my area. She reached out about making content and getting bikinis from Oy. I started taking videos of myself whenever I was surfing, which started my relationship with Oy. I was unsure at first, but they quickly showed me the quality and functionality of their bikinis that I had been missing.
