Why Sunova…

Strongest boards, highest performance, you’ve gotta have the best equipment and they are made in a relatively environmentally friendly way, it’s a win win

The best Competition ranking you got so far?

1st Overall SUP Race and Surf 2016

2nd Stand Up World Tour 2016

Your favorite contest and why?

My Favourite Surf SUP contest was Sunset Beach Pro 2016. We had perfect waves for the first two days of competition. The final day was super windy and tough conditions, but I still managed to make it to the final and place 2nd.

Your favorite SURFing adventure so far?

Surf trip to Western Australia’s far northwest coast, plenty of waves and amazing scenery

The Surf trip you must do before you wipe out forever?

Peru to surf the super long lefts, P-Pass to get front side barrels and J Bay to unload on a long right hand point break

Your favorite songs and bands:

Mosquito Coast: Call my name
Tame Impala: any of their songs, they are all epic

As a superhero I would…

Teleport, would never miss waves and world travel would be easy

Whats your favorite animal, and why?

Bear, they are big, powerful, a little clumsy, but get the job done in their majestic way

If you could do anything and had unlimited money would you do anything good?

I’d try do my bit to increase the use of renewable energy and faze out fossil fuels and also reduce the amount of plastic and rubbish in the ocean, its our playground!
