JettyGirl: A one million
dollar check arrives in your mailbox with a
note that reads, "Half of this amount is
yours and the other half is to benefit the world
around you." How would you spend the money?
Alexa Frantz: I
would spend the money on as many trips to the
Mentawais as possible plus a charter boat of
my own in the Mentawais.
JG: Describe the best surfboard
you've ever ridden and why it was special to
you.
AF: I probably
haven't ridden it yet...every board I get from
Marcio that's brand new is my best board for
the following 3 months, then I need another.
JG: If you could travel
back to any time in history and hang with one
person while they go about their daily activities,
who would it be and why?
AF: I would have
to go back to the time of Baywatch with Kelly
Slater and Pamela Anderson...two of my idols
because you have the best of both worlds right
there.
JG: For thirty days you're
stuck on a desert island with one book, one
song, one surf movie and one snack food. Which
ones would you choose?
AF: Any book about
traveling or perfect WARM waves, Gimme More
by Britney Spears, Flavours, fruit
platter.
JG: What is your best surf-related
memory of 2009?
AF: Every session
I had in the Mentawais or when I accidentally
backpaddled Damien Hobgood at tiny Seaside.
