What keeps you busy outside of Kayaking? Surfing, friends and having good laughs.
Greatest Influence on your career? My supportive family.
Who inspires you? People who are hardworking and focus on their own goals.
If you were not a Kayaker what would you be? Hopefully a surfer on with WCT.. Living the dream!
Favourite Australian Personality? Pretty keen on Hugh Jackman who also supports the Manly Sea Eagles.
Superstitions before a race? Always TRY to be as prepared as possible!!
Best advice you have ever received? Remember where you come from and where you're going
