Favorite Riding Spot: butters... the good 'ol island surf stompin grounds in he crystal clear bay off of long beach island, nj

Most Memorable Kite Moment: i was practicing powered moves right up by the island at butters (LBI Bay, NJ) when i landed boardless in superman form. once the drag was over i realized along with my board, i lost my board shorts... mike and noel were giving lessons that day to some girls and they were all standing on the island watching... it took me 10 minutes to find my boardies standing in knee deep water... the water was cold
