| Top 3 favourite kitesurfing spots? |
1. Augusta, Australia. The wind is straight onshore and the waves are blown out and 1 foot but I have so much fun kiting there. There are little waves everywhere and you can ride about 400 waves in a session. It’s so perfect to practice airs and learn new moves. I never get bored of kiting there
2. A place on the north shore of Oahu that rarely gets good and shall remained un-named. It’s the best right-hander I’ve ever kited and can get big and scary and will get your blood pumping
3. A spot in Madagascar that I hope to get back to some day. I didn’t score it as good as it could be, but I think it has the most potential of any left I have seen yet

| Favourite gear set up? |
(kite, board, bar length, number of lines, bindings/straps/strapless) My favorite set up at the moment would have to be a Rebel and a strapless WAM or Whip. The Rebel turns on a dime when you need to get it in the right spot quickly to do a turn and is just does everything I want my kite to do. The Whip and WAM compliment each other in different conditions and I ride one or the other depending on the type of waves.

| Cat or dog? |
I'm more of a dog guy. If I pay for vet bills and food, I want an animal that’s gonna show some damn appreciation!
|
| Vegetables or Pizza/Burger? |
Vegetables. I want to be healthy so I can keep kiting for a long time.
|
| Girls or boys ;-)? |
Really?
|
| Water or Champaign? |
Water
|
| Car or bike? |
I’d like to say bike but the truth is that I drive everywhere I go. So American, right?! If I had a bike I would ride it though…
|
| City or beach? |
Beach for sure. Cities are fun for a day or two but I need sand between my toes and salt on my skin.
|
| Pink or black? |
Kitesurfing is the new black
|
| Plane or roadtrip? |
Planes. They go faster.
