Advice for beginners: Lessons are good! Someone experienced is going to help you get better by leaps and bounds. Also, be observant and stay positive. You are always learning something out there even if you don't catch a wave.
Worst experience in the water: Slamming into a rock at Rincon. I broke two bones in my ankle and my tibia pretty badly. I've got a rod down my leg, 9 screws and metal plate. It changed the way I surf and how I live my life now.
I'm most proud of: Who I am and the things I have accomplished. And I'm stoked that through surfing I can give back.
