Age: 24

Location: Naalehu, Big Island Of Hawaii

Home Break: Kawa, Rockpiles, Mutes

Years DK: 8 years

Natural/Goofy: Goofy foot

Why DK: Mainly because I kind of got tired of proning when i was a grom so one day I decided that i was just gonna focus on Dk, plus it was a new challenge for me then and still is. But from then on I just liked it waay better. I dont know, its just looks way sicker and smoother to me when you hit a section or boost an air. Yah I love it bra, plus all the guys behind Drop knee are so cool and supportive towards each other and it really truly is such a technical art to master, i guess thats why.

Favourite DK Movie/Section: No friends 2 Roach sections, No friends 1, Phil Harnesburger and Raffi Meyer section, Welfare
Eric Eliason and Booth’s section, The Inside Aka Lyman section, Fumanchu the whole thing is sick.

Favourite DK move: Dk air revo

Future For DK (eg-moves,direction): Mainly just working on keeping everything as clean but powerful as possible when im out there on the knee and also i want to focus on holding the rail in bigger barrels if i can.. there’s two tricks i been wanting to work on and will be for sure this year

DK Rippers At Your Local: The boys around now, Lums Kekoa, Willy Petrovic, Bobby Kaupu, My two Older bro’s Koda and Nacoma and that’s about it.
