Favourite place to board?
Bli Bli Cable Park. It’s the cable I first started riding on and I know the cable back to front, inside-out and upside down. Its where I feel most at home on the water.

What couldn’t live without?
Closed toe bindings!

Trick you’re most proud of landing:
Toeside Hinterberger to Blind. Because it’s my trick and I’m still the only person to ever land it.

Who’s your favourite rider/s at the moment?
Matty Wilkings and Scotty McBriar will always be my favourite riders. They defined what Australian wakeboarding is by going huge, throwing down the hardest tricks and putting their own unique style on everything they did!

When you’re not wakeboarding, what are doing?
Teaching/coaching, working on my car, drifting and spending time with family.

Describe a perfect day.
Sunny day with drifting in the morning then cable in the afternoon with flat water to
boost off.
