Cardiff

When did you start the sport, how and with who?
When i was 18 months old i went down the Ardeche in a Canadian. Had my first kayak when i was 4. Both my parents are kayak crazy so its in the blood.

What are your most memorable moment in your sport?
Speed and being scared - that feeling you get in your stomach when you're pulling into a huge wave and look across at serious 'must-make'. You know that the water is less than a foot deep so if it goes wrong - you're going to hurt!

What is your favourite peice of Nookie kit?
Right now its the best its been - for style alone it beats other manufacturers hands down - i'm loving the decks at the moment!

Please give an example of when you used it and how you benefitted from it?
Out in Sri Lanka the only piece of kit i wore was a deck and on the heavy reef breaks i surfed. I needed a deck that i knew wouldn't fail. I took some serious beatings and it stayed on!

What other interests do you have?
Design - I've just finished my second Surf Kayak which has been a lot of fun. Other sports involving speed - i love it! Mountain biking, Snowboarding, Surfing (on my feet), Rafting

What are your ambitions?
Surf in as many countries as i can before i die. I keep saying it but everyone thinks i'm full of $#*! - i'd really like to surf one of the big ones: Mavericks, Jaws or Dungeons.... its a dream but that doesn't mean it won't happen!

Advice for others?
NEVER rest on your laurels.... You must always look for improvement or you won't progress - somebody who says they're good probably aren't, and beacuse they can't/won't admit that they need to improve they never will!
