What makes your ride? Dan: I am so excited to arrive at the beach to see beautiful peeling waves with a nice side shore wind. In the Gorge I get super charged when I roll into the spot and see massive rolling swell generated by 30 knot winds, and see my friends all ready to go. Both are a total blast. Roz: I always look forward to the Girls Session at the Hatchery. Sharing this amazing sport with so many strong women is such a great feeling.
What is your most memorable session? Roz and I always love our Summer Wall sessions with all our windsurfing friends. Maxed out on 3.1 Banzai and Custom Quad 74 and Roz on the 2.8 Banzai with the Custom Quad 68.  Massive bus size rolling swell with gorgeous lips to launch off. Pure magic sharing this with our friends.
What’s your magic gear and when did you realize it? Dan: Banzai 4.7 on my Custom Quad 84, side off at Tofino or San Carlos. Roz: Banzai 3.4 with the Custom Quad 68 at The Wall.
Dream Trip. San Carlos – magic surf and sup in the mornings, then perfect head high waves windsurfing 4.7 / 4.2  every afternoon. Watching the sunset from our campsite with all the friends we shared the day with.
