What’s your magic board and in what moment did you realize it? it was 2012. I was set to go to Baja, and I had talked to Keith about a new board, but I had no idea that it would be waiting for me. It was an all carbon custom 88 L thruster. My first turn on that board brought me up to the lip and half the time that I was used to. It was an eye-opening moment. I suddenly realized all of the new places it I could go on a wave that never seem possible. It started to make more sense how the team riders were able to accomplish such amazing lines.
If you had an unlimited budget or Keith came out of a lamp, what quiver would you ask for? I am a bit of a board hog, so I’m pretty set already. It would be fun to try a few of my current boards with channels, but the truth is, the boards are so well built, that when you get the perfect one, you just want to keep it. Last year I burned up that magic 88 L in a cave in Baja, but it has been resurrected, and rides on into the future and other hands.
