What is it like representing not only Canada on the PWA tour but being the highest rank North American in freestyle?
I'm proud to represent my home country Canada and also happy to represent and show that the level of freestyle in North America is just as high as the level in Europe or the Caribbean.

Of course. The boards not only great for freestyle. They are also really well balanced, easy planning and fast.
