Growing up I was always a huge sports fan no matter what it was. I had two brothers growing up and we were all very competitive with each other in whatever we do. I grew up playing basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and a little swimming. I was also into whatever extreme sport you can figure such as skateboarding, biking, wake boarding, snowboarding and surfing.
When my family and I moved to Mission Viejo when I was seven we moved so close to the beach that my parents couldn't keep me out of the water. I grew up in a clan with my friends called the BBC where we were essentially beach bums for ten years just going to the beach and catching waves all day long. I started off bodyboarding but have now been getting into surfing more recently and getting pretty good too. I love the beach and it never gets old. I just love going home from school because i live in the best place in the world.
Snowboarding is like second nature to me. My dad grew up on skiing and snowboarding and as soon as he felt we were old enough to handle it he got us right on a board, even before I ever got in the ocean. We do one or two trips a year up to the mountains and every year it becomes more and more fun the more experience and advanced I get. My favorite is when my friends and I go to the local mountain for a few days and rent out a cabin and party and snowboard for a few days.
