Finishing 9th Pro Tour 2007.

What are your goals for 2008 riding season? Get more trick in my bag….of tricks that is. Have fun, meet people and learn.

What are some of your thoughts on female wakeboarding at the pro level? This year with Mona Vie helping the girls breakout on the full tour was a giant leap for womankind (if I may say) I had so many girls come up to me at the stops we’ve never been to and say who stoked they were that they actually get to see us ride. With girls like Nicola, Raimi, Dallas and Shelby it is not a cakewalk riding at the Pro Level anymore. You have to strive to be the best.

How do you feel about the Canadian female wakeboard scene?? Needs growth and things like this website to let people know that there is a scene. The girls involved need to do their part to help it grow. The seed is planted!!

What are your future plans with wakeboarding? I just want to be able to do it for as long as possible. Being from Canada I’m so jealous of all the people in the U.S. that have the option of moving their life to Florida just to wakeboard everyday. Fortunately I can get a few months out of the year to do what I love down there. My goal is to be able to wakeboard everyday, 365 days a year.

What is the steeziest trick you have ever seen? I saw Rusty do a mute cab 5 one day and it was so big, so smooth and super steezy, I’m also a big fan of Shelby’s tail grab tantrums.
Craziest thing you have ever done? The day of my last final in college I got a call from a guy I met 10 days before asking if I wanted to drive to Arizona the next day to try out his new boat and ride. He was a friend, of a friend (so it wasn’t that creepy) I went and it was a crazy trip, probably one of the best times I’ve had in my life, definitely some of the best memories. What better way to celebrate finishing school?

Props to anyone? Props to Ally for this dope site, family, friends, boyfriend, sponsors, reps – you all know who you are, much love. Muah!
