Go211's favorite red headed surfing viking Cheyne Magnusson is answering the Who? What? Where? Why? and How? from the Go211 community as he relaxes after filming surf and diving segments in Tahiti for his new movie Drop Zone and gears up for photo shoots and contests in France, Portugal and Spain. So, Ask this surfing and skating phenom anything and everything about living the dream, free diving for his dinner, or about having a legendary skateboarder as a father, fire away, he's all yours.......

Besides epic swell, what makes one event more fun than another?
from: Tricia Byrnes
The overall vibe of the event is what interests me the most soooo if its some super uptight wqs i'm gonna think its lame even if the waves are good. I like the contests that differ from the normal contest format and criteria such as the game i think that format is super sick. Its also way more interesting for spectators, the old format is boring as hell. I'm also a big fan of tow-at contests those are amazing to be in and to watch. Another good thing about those is you can have it in any size waves and it'll be awesome. I just really like an event that tries to incorporate something more fun to watch than three turns to the beach that also doesn't have a super serious vibe to it. I mean come on its just surfing its supposed to be fun...

What was your best surf trip ever?
from: Tricia Byrnes
My best surf trip ever was to tavarua with Nixon last year. It was for the High Tide hold em' which is one of the coolest events ever. It isn't just a surf contest its kind of like a king of the island event where they had everything from spear fishing to guitar hero to compete in...its the only comp out there like it and i was siked to be in it and actually won the whole thing and got a free laptop out of it as well!!! oh and Jenna Jameson was there with us and if you don't believe just look at my go211 profile pic. Bam!

If you could have one superhuman power what would it be and why?
from: Tricia Byrnes
If i could have one superpower it would be to have the fastest metabolism ever so i could just eat ALL day as much as i wanted. My super hero name would be the bottomless pit but i wouldn't save anyone i'd just go to their house for dinner and eat all their food.

Biggest Pet Peeve?

You seem like you would be one of the whiter Hawaii dwellers, what is your sunscreen tactic?
from: Tricia Byrnes
Yeah i was that kid who was always getting chased by his mom at the beach with sunscreen all over her hands so i've tried a few different methods. My personal recipe is sheisedo on the face and a t-shirt for the back and front. That coppertone spray stuff works well for the arms and legs too.

What would people say is your biggest accomplishment and what would you say it is?
from: Tricia Byrnes
My biggest accomplishment is being 25 years old and not being dead yet. People would probably say that my biggest accomplishment so far is still being sponsored for doing nothing but balancing on a piece of foam and fiberglass in the ocean and getting paid for it!!! HAH!
