Q&A WITH SONNY:

Favorite place to travel? My favorite place to travel is Hawaii.  I'm usually always in the snow, so it's a nice difference and I love to surf too! I would love to visit the Maldives one day as well.

Best moment in your career? The best moment in my career was hearing I made the US Pro Snowboard Team.  It was always a goal of mine, but I didn't think it would happen so soon.

Favorite things to do when you’re not riding? When I'm not riding, I love to be home in San Pedro.  I travel a lot, so I miss home.  I love to be in Pedro skateboarding and just being with my family.

Fashion essentials? My fashion/style essentials are pretty basic but I like to think timeless.  I love black!! I believe my skating has a big influence on my style.

Favorite moment with ROXY? My favorite moment with Roxy is hearing that they wanted to support me in achieving my goals.  I definitely couldn't do what I love if I didn't have the support from my sponsors.  I love how Roxy brings awareness to women's sports, as well as highlighting the strength and power of women.
