What's your favourite thing about surfing? I love everything about surfing.

Which surfer inspires you the most? My Dad.

When I was a child I wanted t be... a Police Officer.

Favourite wave? Woolami, it's my home break and it's a great uncrowded wave.

Describe your last twelve months in three words... challenging, adventurous, rewarding.

Where's the most interesting place you have been? The Telos Islands in Northern Sumatra, I went there with my Dad for 10 days. It was one of the best holidays I have had, the surf was uncrowded and so much fun.

I wish people would take more notice of... the environment.

What are your obsessions outside of surfing? Surfing is pretty much my obessions but I would say my family and also I love having fun with my friends.

The best invention... the light bulb or we would all be in the dark.

If I wasn't doing this right now, I'd be... swimming?

Before I die I want to... do something amazing.

My greatest achievement... Just being me.

My greatest fear... Rocks.

Not many people know this about me but... I got into the Australian maths competition when I was in year 7!!

My most embarrassing moment would be... Not sure I have had one.

The soundtracke to my life would be... seems to change all the time.

My philosophy is... Anything is possible if you try your hardest.
