What do you love about being on the water?:

Paddling is unique in the way that there are no boundaries to the sport. Unlike other sports, kayaking is constantly progressing. I love the fact that with playboating, there is always some crazy new move to learn, and with creeking there is always another amazing drop to run. With boating, there is always something you haven’t done... yet.

Where do you see the sport progressing:

Nowhere but up. Bigger air and bigger drops are the way of the future!

Most Inspirational Paddler: ::

Anyone who goes out there and hucks the gnar in a way that has never been done before. The people out there who are pushing the sport to the next level.

When you are not in your kayak, where are you?

On my way to go kayaking, editing footage from that last epic paddling trip, or at Mcdonalds on the way home from Penrith...
