What would a Vans Pipe Masters title mean to you?

It would mean the world to me. It would mean the world to everyone who has supported me and showed up for me.

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

Yes, I think that goofy footers have an advantage.

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

A vertical off the top with an airdrop into the barrel.

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

Me, Mananalu Chandler, Legend Chandler, Maluhia Kinimaka
