Years surfing: 38
My first wave: was at Karge street in Bay Head in 1 foot slop. (I actually stood up)!
My first surfboard: 9′+ Hansen.
My two favorite all time boards were: a 9′1″ Hansen Competitor. It turned like a son of a gun. My favorite all time shortboard Was a 5′2″ Country Surfboards fish shaped for me by the legendary Hawaiian Shaper, Barry Kanaiapuni(sp). I never remember going faster on any surfboard.
Currently my quiver consists of: I guess old age is finally kicking in (hardly)! I’m totally in love with my new Erie 9′2″ 4 Fin. Erie put so much work into this board. It paddles unreal and stil turns like a son of a ******! My other current boards include a 7′8″ Walden Superfish, 8′8″ Murphy Swallow Competitor, 8′0″ Ashton Mini-Noserider,  7′4″ Local Motion C-5 and a Hanky 6′9″ Starfish Twinnie……….

Each board has its own characteristics and works well in a wide range of surf conditions….. besides, I own a Surf Shop, I’m supposed to have lots of boards!

I spend part of each Winter: in the Caribbean and I love to surf all the various reef breaks on all the neighboring islands. We get everything from waist high longboard surf to full-on fear days.
The most exotic place that I have ever surfed: was definitely our trip  to Fiji. There’s No place in the world I’ve thought was more awesome. I’ve also been to Ireland several times in the last few years…… The Surf is definately cold, but the variety of breaks and the overall beauty is something you’ll never forget!
