The Wave That Changed My Life

I've never considered myself a "professional big wave surfer," but last year I caught a wave at Todos Santos that won the Thriller at Killers big wave video contest. Catching that wave has changed my life! I flew back to Baja for an awards ceremony where Kelly Slater and Gary Linden presented the awards. We even got to get a surf session in. Even more importantly than the awards, that wave made me feel like I belonged in big wave lineups and gave me the confidence to further pursue my dreams.
