What would a Vans Pipe Masters title mean to you?

Anytime you can win at Pipe feels like one of surfings biggest accomplishments. It'd be amazing to win another Pipe Masters.

Is there an advantage to being a goofy or regular footer at Pipeline?

Both have advantages. Ultimately I dont think one outweighs the other.

We want you to remix an old classic. What turn do you best think suits the wave?

A big downcarve that sets you up for a big section.

If you had Pipeline with 3 others, who would you prefer? (family not included).
