2. In 2 words, how cold is the water?
Pretty minor. (while the tour is there anyway—I’m sure it gets colder.)

3. What size board are you hoping to ride at J-Bay?
6’0 shorty, for speed and maneuverability.

4. What is the BEST thing about going to J-Bay/South Africa?
J-Bay, if your able to score it good you’ll have the best session of your life.

Behind the waves (www.behindthewaves.com)

9. Is J-Bay fun on your backhand?
It’s fun when you’re out there free surfing. Competing on your backhand at J-Bay isn’t as fun.

10. Who/What do you NEED to travel with while going to J-Bay?
Sleeping pills, strong ones. The flight is brutal.
