Been racing since 97 on and off. Raced a couch (ducking and hiding) in 97, 98 and 2000. Won regional titles in 97 & 98 and was #2 at 97 WFs. Started racing skis in 2000 and did that for a while. Then left for a few years. Came back in 95 to race sport mod, won two National titles in that, then helped get the sport spec class up and running and won the nationals in that this past year. In October I attended the Va Beach WaveDaze ride and rode in the surf for the first time in a non race in about 12 years and had a blast. Now I am building a surf B1 ( a LONG project for me) and hope to spend more time in the waves. I still love to race, I love competition, but I am getting a bit long in the tooth for bouys and it is just too d@mn expensive.
