Worst Wipeout: There's so many...Has to be France this year, when I tried to catch a 6 footer on a reef, didn't make the drop and ended up hitting the rocks. It dented me slightly and held me under for a while but I absolutely loved it!!! I was so happy my baby didn't get dented!
Favourite Manoeuvre: Riding those waves!!!
Worst Surfing Habit: Dropping in on my mates! LMAO The way I look at it guys, you've all been surfing forever, I need more practice!
Best Surfing Experience: This summer surfing in France with one of the most fantastic people I've ever met. I went away with now one of my best mates and we surfed some awesome waves, watched the girl WCT comp and had a fantastic week of surf.
Another one (I couldn't put a pin between the two of them) was Gennith in April.
All the guys came down and we surfed for 7 hours, it was truly Hawaiian!! Lovely clean 3ft waves, an absolutely lush day and all of us were catching lush clean 3ft glassy waves, an absolutely WICKED day!!
Weirdest Surfing Experience: Gennith this summer with all those soddin Jelly fish!!! I kinda have a phobia about them, I really, REALLY am not a fan of Jellyfish. The guys I surf with thought it would be hilarious to keep lobbing them at my head, I was not amused!!! REVENGE is on the cards BIG time.
Other Interests: Kick boxing, climbing, skating, skateboarding, INDO boarding baby! Yeah! Cycling, erm...erm..what else do I do?? Running, reading, writing, drinking oh and lots of partying!!!
