About Me

I live to surf. I am a traveler, not a tourist. I don't want a career yet. Sometimes I'm nice to a fault. I try to avoid getting into fights. I want to be my own boss. I am really gullible. I am up for anything. I'd rather be in a hammock or a tent right now. I've surfed in 6 countries. I've spent one night in Sweden, I want to go back. Most people describe me as "laid back". I'm broke. I've driven cross-country in 3 days. I want to stage-dive before I die. Funkadelic changed my life. Right now I'm helping run Irie Ride, the headiest extreme-sports company to come out of Cali, check 'em out in my top 8. The music you're hearing is my shit I've been doing in my spare time. Check out Mr. Bombay's page if you want to hear more. I just bought a 40 foot sailboat. This winter I'll be traveling New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia and wherever else I make it to in the south pacific.
