When did you start the sport, how and with who?
When I was 8. In the surf @ Polzeath, because I didn't like bellyboarding :)

What are your most memorable moments when taking part in your sport?
The happy ones, with blue sky and crystal water. Formbreak free dayz in my squirtboat. Perfect hollow days in the surf. In-the-zone river runs and ab-crunching freestyle rides. Three decades thereof :)

What is your favourite piece of Nookie kit?
it's all my fave. Esp cockpit coverz, deckz and 3/4 stridez

What are your favourite features /reason it’s your favourite piece of kit?
I like kit that just works. The fact that it looks cool is a bonus, but it does the job and doesn't tax my patience with any pointless b~*lox.

What are your plans over the next 12 months?
he he... surf mission in XXXX, surf mission in XXXX, surf mission in XXXX. Secret locations deleted.

What are your ambitions?
Keep on boating until people are talking about how this crazy old dude is still boating. They already are? Go figure.

What is your job?
Janitor/CEO of the coolest brand in the world

Is there anything else about yourself you think we might be interested in?
Mine's a Guinness

What advice do you have for others to get into the sport?
Be lucky... and careful, but not too careful. Listen to everyone but remember that everyone is wrong quite a lot of the time. And don't forget to breathe...
