Name: Joe Allister
Age: 25
Job: Graphic Designer
Years Surfing: 15 (shortboard) (4 years from age 6-10 on a sponge, sshhh...)
Habitat: Llangennith
Boards: 3
Quiver: 6'4" SDF, 6'3" SDF twinny, 6'3" Santa Cruz Surftech but has seen much better days!
Local Break: Gennith, S Gower Reef, Aberavon, that non secret spot nr Porthcawl (used to be anyway, before the invasion)
Places Surfed: UK, Ireland, France.
Favourite Surf Films: Drifting Rob Machado, LOST...1 & 2, Occumentary and loads of oldies like 'The Performers', 'Mad Wax' etc...
Worst Wipeout: Two Wave hold down at a heavy south gower reef unable to paddle off the exposed rock
Favourite Manoeuvre: Late take offs. Backhand attack and frontside roundhouse cutties. I also loves the pumping ;-)
Worst Surfing Habit: Not thinking about what I'm doing on a wave after I visualised it in my head before hand. Rushing around when it's 4ft NW.
Best Surfing Experience: Any surf where everything clicks into place. Doesn't take a lot to get me stoked! I loves it!
Weirdest Surfing Experience: mmmm...my surfing existence seems to be slightly mundane to be honest. First time at the Outer Head was one of my best and weirdest I think. Best for waves, weird for location.
Seeing a porpoise at Aberavon - didn't think they could survive in such radioactive waters??
Other Interests: Film, Music, Beer, Food (especially Carnivore style demolition of buffets and BBQ's), Cars, Design, Pro Evo
