Who motivates you and who do you respect the most?
Hardy motivates me the most in bodyboarding because he has sacrificed so much to get where he is now and he deserves to be at the top of his game.
If you’re not bodyboarding what could we find you doing?
You will find me on a building site pouring concrete making a living.
Aside from being a sought after clothes model, what is your dream job?
My dream job would be to skipper a big ship through all the best parts of the world.
What international place have you traveled that you could find yourself living there?
Out of all the places I have travelled there is nowhere I would like to live but perth. I find it is the city, clean ,good waves and just a few hours north or south.
Who are the main people or friends in your life and what have they done for you lately?
I have a lot a close friends in my life but I would have to say my girlfriend Kellie and my mum support me the most just in day to day problems and in surfing.
Hands down, who’s the hottest female alive?
Hands down my girl Kellie.
What’s the scariest moment you have had bodyboarding?
Scariest moment for me would be a couple of years ago getting caught inside by an absolute widow maker at Backdoor, that and getting sucked over the falls at cyclops trying to get under one recently.
What’s been the most memorable trip ,concert or party moment for you recently?
Recently I was on the gold coast and saw a big swell heading for the south coast of N.S.W so decided to drive in my hire car, it took 13 hours with 2 stops. Once we finally got there I couldn’t get straight out there coz my back was so sore from sitting in the car! Once I did get out there it happened to be the biggest and best waves ive ever surfed in oz, so it was so worth the trip!
What goals are you working toward in the coming year?
My goals are to try and get as many quality photos as I possibly can.
Do you have a secret talent we should know about?
Yeah im quite the gardener!
