37. how long did it take you before you really started just shredding and tearing it up?
from: Spencer
I was a pretty fast learner and thats all I would do everyday so after a year or so I was doing turns already and about two years later I was winning contests.

36. Who would be the best surfer...Jesus, Buddha or Mohamed?
from: timedge
They would all rip!

35. do you like long or short boards better?
from: Spencer
I like both! I mainly shortboard though.

34. Have you ever surfed at night?And if you have not why?
from: Hammer
I have a few nights here in Florida, just a the Cocoa Beach pier though. It was fun..but I dont really prefer it as one of my favorite things.

33. What was your reaction when you found out about the transworld article?
from: Dan
I was in South Africa still and just kinda stumbled upon it on the website nobody told me so I would have never known. I was amped, so I called my dad via skype and told him then went upstairs and told my friends.

32. Do you have to defend the East Coast Surf Scene when you go on trips?
from: Dan
Ill always be proud of where I live, but I dont paint it on my boards or wear it on my sleeve. If somebody asks me which side is better...im always going to back up the right side though :)

31. What is your idea of the perfect conditions?
from: Dan
6-8 ft glassy, good form rippable waves!

30. of course nothing beats actual surfing but what is the most unorthodox surfing-specific training methods youve used to stay in shape?
from: Donny Robinson
probably this skateboard thing that I have. Its like a carver but doesn't have the big wheels and bulky setup. Its just a standard skateboard that moves around like your carving on a wave.

29. what would be the ideal date to impress such a nice lady like yourself?
from: Spencer
Well im not so much a dinner person, but anything fun and simple.

28. what did you want to be as a kid
from: Spencer
I wanted to be a few things..veterinarian,meteorologist, marine biologist and a proffesional dog sled racer (stil haven't seen snow)

27. who was your surfing role model?
from: Spencer
Frieda Zamba! Shes from Florida, a world champ, and she still rips just as hard :)

26. did you play any other sports growing up?
from: Spencer
Soccer and Cheerleading, but I was mainly into playing clarinet.

25. What sport would you do if you didnt surf?
from: Josh Patton
If I didnt surf, I would probably be a cheerleader or soccer player since I did both when I was young. On the other hand, I was a complete band nerd and played clarient for 8 years before surfing so instead of a sport I would probably go back to that.

24. Your favorite thing about surfing?
from: Josh Patton
I love the ocean, so to get to be in it all the time is one of my favorite things.

23. You surf rain or shine? Can't get tan in the rain...
from: Chad DeGroot
As long as its not death lightening I will go out in either. Im generally pretty bronzed anyways :)

22. If you had to do something else other than surfing what would it be?
from: Loreo316
I would probably be a Botanist. I like plants and school, so that would be my choice I think.

21. Who was your first sponsor?
from: max pechonis
My first sponsor was this little shop called "the board house." It was about 2 hours from the beach and the man who owned it surfed really good and was from Brasil.

20. where is the worst place to surf that HAS water?
from: Jared
I would probably have to say Georgia.

19. where was the biggest wave you have ever surfed?
from: Jared
Haliewa, Hawaii. I got my butt handed to me

18. What is your favorite color?
from: maryosborne
Green Green Green!
