I started surfing because it was fun and creative. My main goal is to try surf waves perfectly which is an ongoing mission.

For me it’s the reality that I can make a living out of doing something I love. I’ve been English open champion and currently the English senior champion.

It’s an ever changing platform, you can never master the sport as you’re always presented with new obstacles. Competition surfing is very difficult as you are dealing with conditions that don’t care how good you are or the time you put in. It can basically go flat for the entire heat.

It’s the feeling of overcoming fears in larger conditions, the joy of just finding great waves and surfing them with your friends and family. I like being in a sport that you can express yourself creatively.

I find even when I’m in bed I can feel what it’s like to do maneuvers. Visually I think up of new turns and feel them through my muscles as if I was performing them.

I think a lot about the feeling of surfing, I‘ve spent my whole life in the sea surfing waves. I’m extremely passionate about my sport and this helps when it comes to studying it.

Most of the time not wanting to look bad. Having the wrong equipment.

My family, they are just so supportive and only want the best for me.

Enjoy it.

I want to keep traveling and making surf clips. Help my brother Reubyn achieve his goals in surfing.

Have fun, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Find some buddies who want to go surfing all the time that will push and rival you to be better. Have respect for the ocean.
