What makes your ride? I grew up in New England on the ocean and love being in the water no matter what time of year it is. The flow state and adrenaline from foiling is my favorite thing in the world right alongside skiing bottomless powder. The best part about living in the Gorge is that we get snow, wind and waves year round here!
What is your most memorable session? 40kts in June at the Hatchery hanging on for dear life downwinding in what felt like double overhead fully breaking river waves with all my friends. Came in at the end of the run shaking with adrenaline with an ear to ear grin to jump right back into someone’s van or truck to go back up to Tunnel 4 and do it all again lap after lap after lap!
What’s your magic gear and when did you realize it? 110L Dragonfly V2, Atlas 790, 77cm carbon mast, 145 Backwing, KT Foil Blade paddle size L.
Dream Trip. 2-3 (4?) month Baja road trip fall-winter with all my surf, wing, and downwind sup foil gear. Chase surf on the Pacific and wind on the Sea of Cortez. I dream about the untapped surf foiling and downwinding that Baja has to offer at least once a week!
