Gotta love when the @abatour rolls into town. A quick 20-minute heat before I’m inevitably knocked out of the comp by groms from NSW 😂 Photos: @psycs_pixs #bodyboarding

Honeymoon scenes 🌴 #hawaii

Five onshore one-foot waves, 55 minutes (standard dad surf time nowadays). Foolin’ around with my #soloshot yesterday. Aaand now I wait for next weekend’s hour of glower 😂#bodyboarding #dropknee

Breakfast time seven years ago today 😳 #Chile #tbt 📷 @salvadorzalles

Got hitched! 💍 @melina_scholz_ Thanks everyone for a banger day 📷 @lahnirose

Probably the most recent wave I surfed that was bigger than two-foot. Circa 1836 (colorized) 📷 @psycs_pixs #bodyboarding

Marrying this dreamboat in a week 🎉 Too late to get matching cuts again @melina_scholz_?

About Me

I used to write for newspapers before I became editor of bodyboarding’s global voice, Riptide magazine, in 2012. Following three years at its helm, I began writing for a mixed bag of publications - often relating to outdoor and watery pursuits - while penning (mostly crud) fiction and chasing waves to stay sane. I've spoken at two Emerging Writers' Festival events and won a Digital Writers' Festival prize. I also sometimes take photos and my day job involves social media, PR, copywriting, editing and content marketing and strategy.
