Favorite Moves: Long rides and Death Tens in critical, closeout shorebreak, I love that!

Top Contest Finishes: My favorite win would have to be last fall, the Marie A. Becker Surf for a Cure, perfect waves and really fun

Surfing Influences: Monk Monroe, I surf with him everyday. At 54 he really rips and continues the same daily enthusiasm for surfing and life, very inspiring. Paul Callahan, my neighbor, completely fearless, makes his own boards, kills his own food and a classic power surfer. John Peck, I like his wirey style. Tyler Hatzikian, power and grace- very original. Derek Hynd, that tripped out section in Litmus blows me away.

Past Trips: California, Hawaii, Tobago, Mexico, Costa Rica, Barbados and Cape May, NJ..its a different world down there.
Future Trips: More Carribean trips
Music: 80s Metal-I despise the term "hair bands" 
Favorite Quote: "If you aim for nothing you'll always hit it" and "Never store your coffee in the freezer, you'll ruin it" 
Why ride for Bing? First, its an honor just to be part of Bing Surfboards just because of the legacy.Second, Matt makes a great board. Functional, progressive with a nod to the past, the Silver Spoon is the most versatile board I have ever owned.
