Profile: I think that I am a lucky kid, to be brought up in Jersey, where I have lots of great friends and a good school, the surf isn't always there but when it is I will more than likely be in the water. It is also very easy for me because I live about a 5 or 10 minute drive away from the beach so I have no real excuse to miss a good surf. When ever the surf is flat I chill out with my friends and find something fun to do. In the last couple of years competition has been really good because it has helped me see what standard other guys from Europeare like and inspired me to improve. I love to take part in big competitions like the King of the Groms or the Euro's, however, I would definitely prefer to just free surf and have fun with my surfing and friends than to take everything so seriously. If success comes my way as well it is a bonus. When I am surfing with a bunch of my mates we all push each other and try to help each other out, making my surfing a lot more enjoyable.
