Kiteboarding Info
How and where did you Learn?: 
I think that if I had more instruction from the beginning I would have saved allot of time. But in the end it was good mentors that have helped influence my riding. Johnny Hujol, T, Netto and many other riders welcomed and encouraged me to go for it! Which is the very reason MASSkiting has come to be, to return that experience of mentoring and sharing the beach.
Favorite Spots: 
Hardings, Chapin, Hatt, Key West :-)
Favorite Session & Trips: 
2009 MASSkiting Hatteras, 2009 Padre, 2009 Keywest, Tugg Hill 2010 soon to be Hatteras 2010!!!
Worst Kitemare: 
Stuck on a buoy in a current. Then having my legs get wrapped in a current. Then loosing my board for a few months but the swimming with wrapped legs in a current was the worst.
Do you like to ride snow or land?: 
Love snow kiting and land near water is the best so might as well get wet. This year I switched to skiis and found the snow to be much fun that previous snowboard years in regard to making use of non-perfect conditions and wind.
How much gear have you trashed?: 
I have trashed lots of gear and even other peoples too.
Whats MASSkiting to you?: 
Its this family that just happened and has brought some of my best friends.
