Living in Hawaii, Mackenzie started surfing at a very young age, deciding he wanted to do it forever. Whenever he wasn't in the water he was on his skateboard imitating the surf-like moves. As Mackenzie got older he started spending more time on wheels than water. When Mackenzie first rode a downhill skateboard it was like combining the stoke of skating with the flow of surfing. Ever since, he has been riding the mountains as much as possible. Within the past few years it has been his goal to start riding hills beyond the island to compete and document every bit of stoke along the way. He is amped to see what the future holds in skateboarding and what his travels have in store for him.
