I can always remember Thomas Horrell’s part from Asterisk. So good and great to watch. He was one of the guys I always looked up to in wakeskating.

TRUCK

Dodge Sprinter, aka The Remote Team van. So stoked on this truck right now, it’s like a small size RV.

CAR

Anything with Steve Brule, check him out.

Porsche Panamera. Just kidding, I drive the Remote Team van everywhere

TRIP

I got to go to South Korea with Gregg Necrason. We Literally were there for three days. It was my first international trip for wakeskating and it was sick to go with Gregg.

My favorite part I ever had in a video was Beans and Rice. Great trip and good times with friends. Viva la Mexico! My favorite video that I had some shots in was Nike’s Aquafrolics

BOARDSPORT

Nike Wake

Snowboarding. Just got done with a 3 week trip up at Mt. Hood with Kevin Henshaw, the Remote Team and a bunch of other guys that stopped by for a few days, it was rad.

ROAD TRIP Driving across the United States - 4 times. Mike Ennen and I drove to Wisconsin from the west coast and stayed up for 36 hours, non-stop. That was a lot of Red Bull & strip clubs.

ARTIST

My boy Mike Ennen. I have a bunch of his stuff up in my new place. Vincent Van Gogh is a distant second but pretty distant… like I can hardly see him ‘distant’.
