BM: How old are you?

BM: How long have you been surfing?
RC: Surfing since i could walk.

BM: What got you in to longboarding?
RC: I have to give the credit to my dad. He talked me into trying out for the middle school long board team instead of just for short boarding and I fell in love with it. I could have just been another kook boot puto on a short board if it weren’t for him.

BM: You got a girl friend or boy friend? hey man im not judging…
RC: I’m looking for anyone or anything that needs a man friend…

BM: Who are you riding for these days?
RC: Chris Cravey Shapes. Always looking for sponsors though…

BM: If you didn’t surf what would do?
RC: Not really sure, maybe get a job or something weird like that.

BM: Describe your perfect contest circuit?
RC: NOSERIDING! Lots of noseriding events…I hate HP long boarding…those fools should get short boards.

BM: Any weird diets, eating habits?
RC: Lots of coffee and a banana with peanut butter every day for breakfast.

BM: You a nose picker?
RC: Sure am…pick it, roll it, flick it.

BM: If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live and why?
RC: Honestly, I love where I live. Cardiff by the Sea, because it’s beautiful, the people are mellow and my favorite break(Suckouts) is located there.

BM: Favorite youtube/vimeo clips?
RC: Anything with loggin’ or me in it.

BM: How much time do you spend on facebook a day?
RC: Way too much.

BM: Top five fav bands?
RC: Alkaline Trio, Bayside, Long Beach Dub All Stars, Smut Peddlers, and Thrice are a few.

BM: If some one were to say something bad about you what would they say?
RC: There’s no “I” in “TEAM” but there is a “U” in “CUNT” so stop being a whiny little bitch. -Kenny Powers

BM: If some one were to say something good about you what would they say?
RC: Well, the lyrics to “Kiss Me, I’m Shitfaced” by Dropkick Murphys pretty much sums it up.

BM: Tell me what you would like to see in the future for longboarding?
RC: Fewer wankers and kook boot putos on HP long boards and more loggers riding long boards the way they are supposed to be ridden. More noseriding events would be cool, and no more SUP guys in the lineup, keep those hazards in a lake or something. Lastly, everyone should own a Chris Cravey Shape…
