Blake Sands
First wave? Hmmmm...I think it was at Coco on Guana 'bout 3 to 4 ft.
Best day ever? Worst day ever? Best would be winning AAU and Worst stuck in Costa Rica with Josh and no money.
we had to sleep in tha airport!
Favourite break? Willawah (Guana cay) and Japans (Elbow Cay)
Trying to nail? Passion pop and the 10,000 dollar kickflip!
Favourite surfer (Bahamian and International)? Joshua Sands and Dane Reynolds
To what country would you most like to travel? That's a tough one I think Europe.
Advice for beginners? It really is about the fun. once the fun's gone so is your surfing! So don't ever think of surfing as work or a job cause thats not what it's about!
Goals? My main Goal this year is to rank in some WQS events and win the ISA world games in Costa for the Bahamas!
