13. Does competitive surfing get old?
from: Greenwood
Yes it does because sometimes you get stuck in a rut. But then you manage to find new challenges and it gets exciting all over again.

12. Do you have any pets?
from: mikecap
No, I want to get a dog though.

11. If the surf is flat, other fav things to do are .........
from: CLITUN
I train, work around my garden, snorkel, catchup on mail. just do things that I don't do when the waves are pumping.

10. Where is one spot that you are dying to check out that you haven't made it to yet??
from: CLITUN
Tuamotus

9. Congrats on your win at the reef Hawaiian Pro. What type of fitness/workouts do you do to always stay so fit?
from: cd
I do a lot of surfing of course. The most important thing to me is core stabilization exercises, strengthening all the core muscles and cardio. I maintain a healthy diet also.

8. What scares you the most about your sport...sharks, ?
from: JSPORT
I would say drowning is number one. Getting run over by another surfer, hitting the reef, and then sharks.

7. Your go211 page is sweet. What do you think about GO211?
from: Billy-GO211
It is a great way to communicate with other athletes in extreme sports. It is a great way to put yourself out there.

6. Megan congrats on your win at the Reef Hawaiian Pro. You must be stoked. Sorry to hear about your injury at the Roxy Pro. How are you feeling so far? Do you think you can compete at the Maui Event?
from: Billy-GO211
Yes my spirits are up. I am hoping to be in top form at the Maui event and feeling a bit better each day.

5. What would your dream surf session be like and who would be there and where would you be???
from: Tricia Byrnes
4-6 foot velzy land with my best friends in the line up with dead winds. Medium tide and we wouldn't have to ride anything but shortboards because the waves were so perfect. I would have Rochelle, Sofia, Serena, and Coco Ho out there with me! There would be a refreshment bar in the channel and music pumping all day long... A dream for sure! We would surf and sit on water bar stools, eat lunch and surf more!

4. How do you feel about the Men's and Women's ASP World tours being split up? ?Would you rather the two tours traveled together and competed at the same breaks?
from: Tricia Byrnes
It is always inspirational having events with the men because they are so talented and amazing to watch. But, at the same time, we usually aren't the priority therefore we don't always get the ideal waves. But I love having events with them cause it spices it up. Oh, and the guys are funny too!

3. What bands are in heavy rotation on your ipod right now???
from: Tricia Byrnes
Some house music - gabrielle & dresden for example. Lots of Yellowcard, Dave Matthews, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah. I love everything, but because I have been competing my music has been quite amping. I love house for surfing though.

2. What are some of the biggest changes you've seen in surfing since you started competing?
from: Tricia Byrnes
Women wear female board shorts! Nah just joking - instead of me being the only girl in the lineup, there are now at least 20. There are also entire labels and brands geared towards women - we now have our own identity and sport. Female surfers can make a living and life of this sport - it is much more professional now!

1. Can you Hula?
from: Tricia Byrnes
Um no, sorry I can't - haha!
