Q&A
-
Why do you surf Janek?
-
I don’t know really. I started surfing when I was 12 years old and it just grew on me and it’s pretty much become an addiction.
-
-
What makes a Canadian surfer good?
-
You just have to surf year round and put your time in and not to be afraid to get a little cold.
-
-
Having a brother that surfs, do you think you push yourself harder??
-
For sure. I look up to Kye and I push myself harder when we’re in the water together.
-
-
Who deserves the biggest thanks for helping you surf?
-
My mom, dad and Kye. Also all my friends. You guys know who you are.
-
-
What’s your favourite board and wetsuit right now?
-
For board, I’d say my Raddysh model by Aftanas. For wetsuit, I’d have to go with my Quiksilver; if it’s cold maybe throw on a heat vest.
-
-
What’s your favourite surf contest that you’ve seen in Canada?
-
Definitely the O’Neill Coldwater Classic. Seeing Pete win it was pretty insane.
-
-
What do you want to see change in the Canadian surf scene?
-
More surf contests.
-
-
Kelly Slater or Jordy Smith?
-
Kelly for sure.
-
-
John John Florence or Dane Reynolds?
-
Dane.
-
-
What’s your Surf Project for the next 12 months?
-
Get on the boat and explore! Go on a few more trips and just surf as many good waves as I can.
