Where’s your next destination?
Nothing planned but I really want to go to Puerto and Phillipines, but more likely it’ll be somewhere in Australia like South Australia.

Any last words of advice or shout outs?
The many prime ministers for funding my surf travel over the years, and to K Smithers for letting me have so many “sick days” even though he knew the surf was pumping himself. SCAFFFORLYFE.. haha. Big hello to all my friends, love you all especially my lovely girlfriend Daisy. And lastly, Thanks to Jordan Godley & Ian Osterloh for all the epic photos. Let the good times roll…
