HOW’S YOUR SUMMER BEEN?
My summer has been prettty good so far, I just got back from the Maldives which was wicked. I also spent a bit of time at home, didn’t really score good waves but it was good to see my friends and go skating as well.

BEEN INDO?
I spent 4 months in Indo this year and had the best time… scored 6ft perfect Lakeys with just me and Eugene Tollemache trading waves with Andre Anwar and no one else paddled out.

IS BUDE THE NEW NEWQUAY???
Ha ha no way, Bude is so mellow it won’t ever change that much.

IS EVERYONE FROM BUDE A GOOFY… REUBS, JOSS, JOBE, YOU…?
There’re a lot of us but there are a few regular footers like, er, well… my dad and one of my sisters…

DESCRIBE AN AVERAGE DAY AT HOME.
If I don’t go surfing, then skating, bit of cliff golf with my friends, love it. The only bad thing about home is the weather.

CLIFF GOLF?
Yeah but you need balls. Me and a friend were stealing some golf balls from the golf course at home and I got caught by a couple golfers so they started hitting balls at me as I was running away, luckily I didn’t get hit but it was pretty funny. Running away and avoiding golf balls to the head is good training, probably.
