If so how big and what did it eat to get hooked: Yeah i was out fishing with my Dad and we seen some little fish jumping round and a white shadow chasing them, we thought it was a massive dolphin but it swam over to the boat and sure enough it was a 10ft white, i chucked a handline in with a chuck of fish on it. I fought the white for about 5minutes before it snapped me off and crusied back to it's patch of fish haha.
What's your dream job: Lead Singer/Frontman in a metal/hardcore band or a Pro Surfer those people are living the dream.
We heard your in a band? Have you played at any parties or local pubs? Yeah, i used to be, i was the singer of the band and we played Metal music. Was some good times playing infront of crowds up to 250 people, was pretty funny watching the grandmas evacuate the rooms. We played at the local pub and at a couple talent shows on the west coast of South Oz.
Hang out with: No one in particular now because most of my friends moved to Adelaide for work or school. Would chill with Amos Hagley, Matt Brakenridge, Lewis Cotton, Ryan Edmonds or Travis Brown back in "The Days"

Got into Surfing because: I was a skate rat and a football fiend, but surfing was always in my blood. I never really wanted to go surfing but my mates took me anyway and after i got my first proper wave and semi barrel i was hooked.


Whats your idea of Paddy bashing and have you ever rolled a car: Haha going to town in an old car in a paddack or salt lake as long as your side ways on the beaten track your paddy bashing. Never rolled a car but been in car on two wheels couple times pretty sacry, i reckon it'd be fun rolling a car if you where trying to.
Worst injury so far: Falling on my face when i was 4yrs old and splitting my head open. Most pain i ever been in would have been when i copped a 5ft lip on the head and rolled my foot across my board before being ragdolled onto the rocks. It felt like i snapped my ankle then some was punching my in the foot.
Heroes: Laurie Towner, the champ is a hell man. I read about him in the mags growing up and wanted to do what he was doing. My Dad is an amazing person and if it wasn't for him I know I wouldn't be in the position i am in and i wouldn't have lived life as much as i already have. Can't forget my mates I mentioned before, Lewis, Amos, Matt, Ryan and Travis I am what I am today thanks to these boys.
Hottest sprouter in the world: Oh this is a kinda tough one, Eliza Kavanaugh would have to be without a doubt, i haven't actually met her but we've talked, she's a cruiser.
What is your idea of perfect happiness: Playing lead singer in a band of my best friends (Lewis Cotton, Amos Hagley and Matt Brakenridge) touring the world, playing to millions of fans and having a hell-time! Yeeeaah
Who is the best photog to shoot with:  In the water best photog I've shot with would be Simon Muirhead we worked well together and he is kinda the only guy i have shot with where it was just me and the photog working together. Other then when i shot with Dad but we had troubles haha. From land Shane Smith has nailed plenty of shots for me espceally scoring some epic pics from the Fantastic Noodles Intense Wave comp.
If you could choose what to come back as what would it be: A dolphin because i could still surf and kickass
If you could have dinner with 3 people dead or alive who would they be and why: #1 Kelly Slater, like to get to know what his about and gain some knowledge or an insight into him. #2 Jennifer Hawkins, in desperate hope that she might take me home but if she didn't i'd still be happy and able to claim something a lot of men would love to be able to claim. #3 Parkway Drive, they are my favorite band! They all have different personalities and outlooks on life but are really cool. Yeah that sounds about right to me three top choices if i say so myself.
