When I’m not competing I like to:
HANG WITH MY BEST MATES AND PARTY. LISTEN TO MUSIC. EAT. SLEEP. CREEP AROUND THE INTERNET.
Other interesting Info: Was born in Tasmania, the tiny, freezing, isolated island below Australia and grew up body boarding until the age of 13 where my dad forced me to start surfing because all my friends did.
