Biography:
Growing up spending Summers in Muskoka, Ontario, Prince has always been a fan of any activity involving water and adrenaline.
In 2012, Prince was living the suit lifestyle trying to climb the corporate ladder. All it took was that first glimpse. Hydroflight has been his growing passion/obsession ever since.
In 2015, he decided to leave the suit life behind and trade up for the board shorts full time. The world of Hydroflight has become his everyday. After two disappointing back to back injuries, his 2016 season was cut short. 2017 can expect to see this man coming back with a vengeance and making waves as he has been hungry for the podium ever since entering the competitive arena.
