Bio


I am a Senior at Roanoke Rapids High School. I plan to attend a University near a lake hopefully. I didn't start wakesurfing till about 4 years ago. Around sometime then our neighbor at Lake Gaston showed me and my family. In 2010 I went and participated in my first contest at the 2010 World Wakesurf Championship. While there I met James Walker and since then we have been pretty tight and he has taught me a lot about the sport. Towards the end of the 2010 season I got picked up by Inland Surfer. I have had some great times riding at Inland headquarters with the team. When I’m not Wakesurfing I’m usually swimming or hanging out with friends.
