What you actually do: I still teach lots of lessons every day. When I’m not in the water I am rostering the lessons you book in Maroubra and Bondi, take bookings for Maroubra, open our shop where we sell boards, wetsuits, surf gear and more.

Surfboard you ride and why: For summer I ride a 5’5 fish, it makes surfing summer waves easy and fun no matter what conditions. For the winter season I have a 6’0 to have some fun in the bigger stuff.

Wetsuit you wear and why: O’Neill superfreak 3/2mm for summer, flexible and comfy. For winter I wear a 4/3mm Psycho, warm and dries super quick!

Best tip for beginner surfers: Don’t rush anything, enjoy the ride and take advice from experts

Who has been the biggest influence in your life: Mom & Dad

What kinds of things really make you laugh: Pranking friends or mates at work, Mr Bean and Fawlty towers

What’s your favorite place in the entire world: I really can’t pick one. So here are a few; Pavones – Costa Rica, Pichilemu – Chile, Playa Venao – Panama, Barbados, Huanchaco – Peru, Fiji & ofcourse home at Maroubra – Sydney.

What’s your biggest goal in life right now: To build the happiest life Down Under

If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and why: Breath under water.

How would you describe yourself in three words: Passionate, clown, dreamer

Which is more logical to follow—your heart or your head: Heart 100%!
