What's your riding style? Wakestyle

Where do you call home?  Perth

What's your local spot? Safety bay or woodies

How about your favorite spot? Hatteras

And your favorite food?  Grits, eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, and biscuits for breakie (a real American breakie!)

Tell us about your quiver.  13, 11, and 7m Fuels. These are insane wakestyle kites! Especially the 13 and 11 they cover such a large wind range and handle a lot of power, providing loads of grunt for real wake power. Used with my Response 137, I find I can go out really powered, and still feel completely comfortable loading up and going for new tricks, and know the kite is going to be where I want it, Low! My 7m is more for howling SW’s on a surfboard.

Any contest results we should know about?

What is your favorite riding trick? Nuclear tantrum to blind

What about sponsors? Slingshot Australia, Choice Kitesurfing, Filtrate eyewear

What's on your iPod:  Killers, Muse, Hilltop hoods……

So what do you do when you're not kiteboarding? Wakeboard, Hit the trampoline, oh, and workL!

Who inspires you? Lou, Andre Phillip, Jeff McGee, Shawn Watson, and my family

Any parting words of wisdom? Don’t get your toast out of the toaster with cutlery

What your goals in the sport?  To push and open up the wake side of kiting, inspiring, and helping more young groms to ride with more style. To open up the slider and kicker scene to more local riders, and to make this more a part of their kiting scene.
