Surfing Forte (Competitive, Big Wave, Free Surfer or other.)Why?
Comps and free surfing but hopefully one day begin a journey toward big wave surfing. I love free surfing because I can line up one good turn or try a big air and attempt things that I mostly dont pull off but every now and then surprise myself. Competitions are great because I love to push myself against other good surfers and put together a series of critical manouvers that flow.
