What makes your ride? Spreading the stoke on foiling and getting more people into the sport. Also, just the pure joy I get from being out on the ocean.
What is your most memorable session? Fall 2024 at South Chestermans riding big breaking waves outback at Cox bay, pulling into my biggest wave to date. After dropping in, the wave was starting to break. The only two thoughts I had were; I need to beat this section, and I’m don’t want to fall, I’m going too fast and this wave is too big. I will always remember that ride and I am motivated to continue to push myself and my riding abilities. I ended that session with getting stuck on the inside in a strong current, losing my wing and ducking waves for at-least 30 minutes until I made it back to shore. On the beach, I was grinning ear to ear, knowing I just rode my biggest wave and had my best session to date.
What’s your magic gear and when did you realize it? 40L drifter S paired with the 570 Atlas front foil / 145 Atlas stab with -2.5 degree shim / 85cm mast with 1 degree baseplate shim. / 56 Fuselage
Dream Trip. Going to Maui to ride / hang with the team.
