Lives	The Central Coast. North Avoca
Years Filming	11
How did you get into it?	We got a camera for chirstmas and started taking turns filming our friends. And it kinda snow balled from there.
How much of your time does it take up, and long has it been that way:	Since launching the podcast I try to treat it like a full time job. Some times it’s more, it gets pretty hectic like 80hr+ when you have a tight deadline approching, but then other times you can have alot more time on your hands like when you’re concepting ideas and writing up proposals or inbetween job etc.
Favourite Riders	Winny, Novy, Ben and Dallas They are always keen to push themself and give 110% and never neg out on trips. And have always stuck with us since the begining
Favourite Location to Film	home/ anywhere from water
Your personal favourite vid so far	I’d have to say Denis. It had such a fun year filming. And the premier was massive, packed cinema over 500 in a 400 seated cinema, people crowding the isles, goon bags flowing and one of the craziest nights I’ve ever had.
Equipment	panasonic HVX202, Sony FX1 Dave Kelly housing centry 2x centry .6 wide angle, miller tripod senhizer lapel mic, rode shot gun mic + boom miller D20 tripod, Gopro HD and Sony fx1
Inspirations	Music videos, new camera equipment, good surfing and wanting to always do better .
Craziest situation you’ve been in?	Almost drowning at lunas.
Plans for this year?	No idea yet. Just going to roll with the punches. Hopefully a new series on the podcast.
