Most impressive lifesaving experience?
When we had twentyfour people to rescue at the same time on patrol in Surfersparadise, AU.
Other than lifesaving, what else is important for you/do you like doing?
My little newborn baby Julian takes a lot of my time and I love making him smile and watching him sleep safely in my arms. It’s not to bad with big surf either!
How do you relate to your Wetiz gear, what does it make stand out for you?
I like the shape of the boards and the quality it stands for. I paddle the E-factor surfski and it is brilliant in high surf!
