Years bodyboarding: I’ve been bodyboarding for over 30 years haha!!

Sponsors: Vektor Systems, Science Bodyboards, Gyroll wetsuits and leashes, MS Viper fins, Quality Surfboards Hawaii, Millers Surf, God’s Country, and 2B Wax.

Location: I’m from Makaha and currently live on the Big Island.

Favorite spot: My home break these days is Honls.

Favorite move: Favorite maneuver?? I like to make tsunamis…

Where do you see the future of drop knee: The future of DK riding is looking very promising at the moment. Especially with the technological advances introduced by Ryan Arakawa and the test pilots for Vektor Systems. Vektor Systems have pushed me to a level of riding that I didn’t know I could achieve. More drive, speed, and control than ever before.

Biggest inspiration: My biggest inspiration will always be Jesus Christ. I try every day to be like him, and of course he is the first surfer ever, when he walked on water…

Future goals: My future goals are to enjoy God’s creation every day in and out of the water until I go home to heaven, and hopefully take all my friends and family with me. Surfing perfect waves forever!!!
