-How do you prepare yourself mentally and physically for a day of surfing?

Clearing my mind of all thoughts and knowing that God is with me out there. Physically I stretch and work out daily , I skate in between surf sessions. Basically just try to do things that keep my body moving.

-How do you care for and maintain your wetsuits to ensure they last longer and perform well over time?

After every surf session I rinse it completely! Hang it up properly on a hanger (not on the shoulders) then I put a fan on it inside my garage. After comps I use a wetsuit cleaner cause I’m in the water almost an entire day.

-Can you describe the feeling you get when riding a wave?

When I ride - it’s like I’m almost flying…a peaceful feeling.

-What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced as a surfer?

When I was little (about 6) I took off on a huge wave and got held under….so I kinda had to get over that. Now I just let myself stay calm and let my body relax.

-Are there any specific wetsuit models or lines in Matuse that you particularly enjoy using, and what makes them stand out to you?

Honestly, I just love what MATUSE fits me with. I am excited about some new technology that they have in the works!!! My current wetsuit fits me perfectly. I’ve never felt really good in a wetsuit before this. It’s really soft and super warm.

-How important is the fit of a wetsuit to your surfing experience, and do you find that certain brands offer better fits than others?

The fit matters for your flexibility on the wave. MATUSE nails it.
