| Intro to big wave surfing: | "The excitement of paddling to the outer reefs and seeing waves that looked small from shore and seeing how big they were up close made realize that things aren't always as they seem." |
| Drive to surf big waves: | "Something deep inside me. I haven't pin pointed it yet." |
| Future of big wave surfing: | "Small saucer shaped wave crafts, dropping in later and deeper on 7-foot boards." |
| Favorite big wave rider: | "Clark Abbey for his dedication and skill." |
| Most memorable big wave experience: | "They have all been so incredible. Going to Mavericks with Nate Fletcher was a standout. Many sessions here in Hawaii will always be in my head." |
| Thoughts and feelings about the Eddie: | "Tremendous respect for him and his family. I wish I could have surfed The Bay with him and then gotten drunk on Swipe with him! |
| Feelings About The Eddie Event: | "It is an honor to be recognized for something you have put so much time and energy into it. So to be invited to The Eddie is the biggest honor a big wave surfer can recieve outside of the respect from his peers." |
