SPY INTERVIEWS KILIAN GARLAND ABOUT HIS AIRSHOW DIVISION WIN AT THE VQS

KILIAN GARLAND - Spy's Surf Team Manager John Oda sits down with Kilian for a few minutes to discuss his win at the VQS this past weekend...

Hi KG (Kilian Garland)!

Congrats on your recent win at the VQS Championships. I wanted to hit you up with few questions about your win.

John - Did you prepare for this contest? If so, what did you do?

KG - Yes, I prepared a little just by surfing Newport Beach before the event, but nothing major.

John - You surfed against some incredibly well known aerialist in that final such as, Jason "Ratboy" Collins and Aaron "Gorkin" Cormican. How did you mentally prepare yourself for the final? You want to win and there's a big difference in prize money $7,000.00 for 1st place and $1,000.00 for 6th place.

KG - I was a bit nervous going into it. I tried to just have fun and get some good air on the waves. I did not want to walk away empty handed.

John - Now that you are $7,000 richer, what are you going to do with the money?

KG - I think I'm going to pay my taxes from last year and get some new tires on my truck. They are pretty much bald! With the rest I’ll save for a while.

John - So what’s next on your list of things to do?

KG - Trying to plan a Mexico trip and do some training for the US Open!
John - OK now I'm cutting into your water time so any special thanks or shout outs?

KG – Thanks a lot John for coming to the entire contest and everyone at Volcom, Jason Feist and all my friends. Now I’m going to da beach!
