What do you love about being on the water?: Paddling is unique in the way that there are no boundaries to the sport. Unlike other sports, kayaking is constantly progressing. I love the fact that with playboating, there is allways some crazy new move to learn, and with creeking there is allways another amazing drop to run. With boating, there is allways something you havn't done... yet.

Where do you see the sport progressing: Nowhere but up. Bigger air and bigger drops are the way of the future!

Most Inspirational Paddler: Anyone who goes out there and hucks the gnar in a way that has never been done before.

When you are not in your kayak, where are you? On my way to go kayaking, editing footage from that last epic paddling trip, or at Mc Donalds on the way home from Penrith...
