What would a Vans Pipe Masters title mean to you?

It's an honor to be able to participate in a name with history.

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

I think regular footers are an advantage because it has three legs

We want you to remix an old classic. What turn do you best think suits the wave? Feel free to get creative in your thinking.

Banzai from the bottom turn
