“Uluwatu? [takes drag on cigarette] Yeah I’ve surfed it. And I’ve got the scars to prove it” 😂 #wsl got me reminiscing on this Racetracks cheesegrating circa 2007. Still don’t know how it happened.

Tfw you’ve got a leaf 👌 Hard to believe this guy is turning one in just over a week 😳

Opened the winter account with a weak as piss #dropknee surf. Fun and looked pretty but #straighthorizons

Been a mad challenge sneaking time to read this year with the little tacker, but I was lucky enough to smash a review copy of the debut novel one of Australia’s best magazine feature writers earlier this month. Needless to say it was a doozy #bookstagram #amreading

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

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.
