I am from Santa Cruz CA. I was born and raised here. I have been going to the beach as long as I can remember, it's just steps away from my house. I am a nose-rider. Surfing is more then a hobby, it's more of a life style and obsession. 

The ocean is just so mysterious, every wave is different and I feel fortunate that I live in Santa Cruz, a great surf town where we get all sorts of wave sizes, different swell direction, a bunch of different select spots, etc. A lot of good suffers have come from Santa Cruz and I hope to be one of them. But, in the summer when the kooks come in from all over the world wanting to learn how to surf not respecting the ocean and polluting and throwing their trash everywhere that's not cool, my friends and I have collected so many plastic bags and trash floating in the water.

I want to set a good example and change surfing in to a more Eco friendly environment.I live, love, sleep, eat and breath surfing, I don't know what I would do with out the ocean. so I respect it as much as possible. Being green is important to me because I love the ocean and our beaches and don't know what I would do with out surfing. So I just wanted to thank wave tribe for giving me a chance to work with you and the sponsorship, let's do this the green way, and go surf!
