  • Boat Settings I run full ballast in all stock tanks, 850lb plug n play bags in the rear lockers, and 750lbs of lead evenly distributed throughout the boat. I surf at 10.8 mph. Normally, I am surf left, but I can also ride backside on surf right.
  • Favorite Trick Been working on this frontside grab rail carving reverse that I think really emulates ocean surfing. Otherwise, my favorite is a backside air reverse.
  • Hobbies I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, master of none. I love to ocean surf, ride motocross, mountain bike, skateboard, snowboard, snow ski, build off-road trucks, welding fabrication, wood working, anything mechanical or that i get to expand my knowledge and use my brain.
  • An Ideal Day in your Axis consists of Warm evening out on Lake Nacimiento, no wind, not a drop out of place hanging out and riding with my best friends. That’s what boating has always been about for me.
  • Favorite Memory Being a Part of Axis Crew I don’t think this is even a fair question because there are so many haha! I would say my first was in 2011 shooting the brand new 24mxz and the surf gate launch video. That was my first taste of what it is to be an Axis or Malibu rider, meeting the Malibu staff, the photographers, the family’s associated with the shoots and the genuine nature or everyone involved.
  • Plans For This Season I hope to continue traveling the world, spreading the love of wake surfing and enjoying this blessed life that I live!
  • Advice for First Time Boat Owners For the first time boat owner, try to spend the day on the water with your local dealer and learn some of the do’s and dont’s of launch ramp and lake etiquette. For the first time rider, just have fun because that’s what boating is all about!
  • What Makes Axis Different Malibu and axis stand out with not only the build quality and performance, but with the dealers and people who truly care to make this the best product on the market pure and simple.
