What have you been up to?

I have been surfing heaps and just got back from QLD where I got some fun waves. I have been surfing little Avalon at home and some Whaley sessions as well. In my spare time I have been heading into the Movement office to help out as much as I can.

Best thing you have witnessed in bodyboarding recently?

This Stewart Pipe pit that will be in the next Movement magazine. It is the best shot I have ever seen. The wave is about 12 foot plus and it is just so unreal.

Where was the longest most epic session you have ever had?

It was at Padang 2 years ago. I surfed from 2 pm to dark by myself with no one out and no one around. It was such a great session. I was just screaming thank you thank you...and hooting and stuff. EPIC

You say you have been doing some work for movement mag what does that consist of?

I have just been helping jet and Murray out when ever I can. I am not one to sit around and just get old. I want new experiences and challenges and that is what I am doing. I love it, working with great mates and having fun at the same time.

Favourite bodyboarding vid?

The illegal Stewarts View that has been pirated about 5000 times over.

Worst thing you have ever done?

Mmmmm, tough question. The worst thing would be , well no regrets really.

Best pick up line you have ever used?

Just being honest always works, if you like her...or him if that is your
thing, just be honest and talk with them.

Any other comments?

Live life to the fullest.
