(UPDATE)/> - I am currently a 2009 member of the ASP WQS WORLD SURFING TOUR ,living in Carlsbad,CA. I Grew up in Daytona Beach FL. on the BEACH., where I started surfing & competing at the age of 10. I found my love for the ocean through water skiing,surfing & fishing.- I moved to Hawaii at the age of 14 for two full summers & one school year. Then at 16 moved to San Francisco with my mother & started competing in the very cold water of Northern Calif. This is where most of my contests were in Santa Cruz. The waves up there are some of the biggest in the world,which helped shaped me into a complete surfer in various conditions. My three favorite spots in my home town of San Francisco are Ocean Beach, Dead Mans (which is an incredible Rock Sand point),Fort Point ( under the Golden gate) also which is a left point Break under.I love to travel, live life & learn. Making new friends is also a great thing throughout my travels & has helped mold the person I am today. I have a great family, incredible friends & some of the BEST sponsors in the business that enable me to succeed in all I do.I am fortunate to have have family in France as well as family friends in Australia.I grew up on the East Coast, had many years in Northern California & Many winters (17) on Oahu in Hawaii ( Nov,DEC), so I guess you could say I get around a lot. My Father, step sister & sister all live in FLA. My sister Joey,her husband & my beautiful neese & nephew all live in Atlanta.
My favorite person on the planet is Susan Delaus my sis" !
