Date of Birth: September 21, 1982

Best Known For: I guess right now it’s for beating Kelly in France with his ninth world title on the line. I’m working pretty hard to make sure that’s not the only thing I’ll be remembered for!

Local Spot: Avoca Point

My Crew: My family, my girl Beck, my friends at Avoca (they know who they are), all the Aussie guys on tour, my trainer Luke Waters and the Hurley pit crew Pat O and Mitch Ross

Board of Choice: JS does all my boards so I’m pretty lucky. I’ll generally have a dozen fresh ones in the garage between trips to try, not to mention all the favorites. My go-to board for competing is a 6'0” x 18.25” x 2.25” round square 

Dream Wave: I LOVE sand-bottom barrels

My Top Five:

1.) Restaurants   2.) Deserts   3.) North Avoca   4.) Hossegor   5.) Pipe
