Describe a typical day at home: A typical day at home is get up go skate and check the surf if its good I’m straight in if not i normally try and catch a lift with someone thats going to a different spot but if that doesn’t work then i will probably go for a skate with friends somewhere.

what are you surf plans for 2014: My plan for 2014 is to do every comp this year try my hardest to get some good results and hopefully score some good waves with my friends along the way.

In 10 years what will you be doing: In ten years time It would be sick to be on the world tour because competitions are just so fun, meeting new people,traveling around the world with friends, surfing in some of the best spots in the world, who wouldn’t want to be doing the thing that they love as a job.

Apart from surfing what else are you into: When I’m not surfing all i really do is skate or occasionally go to the surf club. I do a bit of gymnastics and free running with my friends too.

Where have you surfed in the world: I have surfed in Portugal 3 times and i have surfed in Fuerteventura as well as at home in Cornwall

Favourite UK wave: I don’t really have a favourite wave in the UK at the moment because there is just so many to pick from but there is a few sick breaks near home that are really good.

Best waves on the recent Portugal trip: its to hard to choose the best waves on our recent Portugal trip because we had a lot of good waves through out the trip.

Favourite food on the trip: Chicken burritos at the Greenroom.

Who did the best surfing on the trip: The person who was surfing the best on the trip was definately Harry De Roth.

What is the best thing about surfing: The best thing is that I can forget about everything else and just lose myself and have fun with friends.
