Daytona Beach Freeride 2012 - Daytona Beach, FL

My 4th annual trip across the US to Daytona Beach, Florida for the 2012 Thrust Innovations Daytona Beach Freeride. I got to switch gears up a bit on this event and ride some crazy skis at the "Flat Water Friday" event. I claimed 3rd place in the sickest trick contest and was able to meet up with Bobby Howering of Trinity Composites to finalize the details of my new Matrix hull build.

Pismo JK Rager - Pismo Beach, CA

This was my 4th year attending the annual Joe Kenney Pismo Freeride. This freeride is always the weekend after the World Finals in Lake Havasu, AZ. The Idea is that everyone who is now on the west coast will travel the extra few hundred miles to ride some great surf and party on the beach with tons of friends. This freeride was no short of fire jumps and great surf riding.
