Do you get scared and how do you deal with it?
Yep, when its big surf. Everybody gets scared, if they said they didn’t they be a lier. But I think it’s the fear that motivates you to go harder, and to see how far you can go. If you don’t go, you could miss out on the ride of your life, I always think that. Im also really lucky to have a bunch of great friends too, we all look out for each other, big shout out to my locals at Aberavon!!!
Do you do any specific training?
Yep, Kickboxing 3 times a week, and surfing as much as possible! Keeps me fit and health for my hours and hours surf sessions!

What’s the future?
Hmmmmmm, Just have fun surfing, and travelling with my friends, but who knows what the future will bring? Loved to follow the WCT around the world, and surf the same spots as, and with the pros. But im off to the South Atolls in the Maldives in 3 months for 18 days living and surfing off a boat! Cant wait!!!!!!
