♥ 110907 - It’s time. I’ve decided the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach will be my last event as a full-time competitor on the World Surf League Championship Tour. The tour has given me so much but I need a fresh challenge. I still love the game but can’t find the motivation and dedication required to compete for World Titles anymore. My time on tour has been incredibly rewarding and I have so many amazing memories, all of which wouldn’t be possible without some very special people... My Mum, Dad, Sister and Brothers. I love you. My sponsors that have stood by me and continue to back my goals. My shaper Darren Handley and his entire team for the care and hard work they put into every single one of my boards. My fellow competitors on tour, you are like brothers and sisters to me. My very tight support crew that have been there in good and tough times, thank you for always being honest with me. And thanks to the fans and everyone that has encouraged me and cheered me on for all these years. I’m looking forward to life away from the tour while keeping a close eye on things. I’m so proud of our sport and the way it continues to evolve. The performance level on the Championship Tour and the Big Wave Tour is remarkable. I can’t wait to watch it all go down as one of the sport’s biggest fans. I’m also looking forward to evolving my own surfing in new ways, visiting unfamiliar places and taking on different experiences. I will be competing at the opening event at home on the Gold Coast and then wrapping things up at the Rip Curl Pro. Bells Beach is where my Championship Tour career really kicked off, I’ve always loved the place and it seems a fitting stop to finish things up. It’s gonna be a big fun party and you’re all invited to come. Hope I see you there. Cheers and thanks for the memories.

♥ 18160 - Some people might see this as just riding a single fin but here’s the real story. The waves at home were firing for a week and I really wanted to ride something different. I saw this board in my room but was a bit scared incase I broke it. It’s a @markrichardssurfboards 7’6 and something I cherish that he made it for me. Being scared but really wanting to ride it I text Mark to see what I should do. I waited for his reply, 15, 30 mins had past until I got to an hour. I had to go leaving the board at home because I didn’t know what to do. I was just about to pull up at Kirra when a message came through “Get out there on it!” He said. I instantly whipped the car around and headed home to get it. Excited he said yes but still petrified I’d brake it. What followed was one of the funnest yet nerve wracking surfs I’ve ever had. To my joy the board made it in and I was honoured to ride one of my hero’s boards! This pic and more are in the @corey_wilson book that’s in my bio!

♥ 48463 - This photo was a total fluke! @corey_wilson and I were totally burnt out from surfing all week. The forecast said the waves were meant to drop so we thought we’d have a lay day. My good mate @lincolneather came home freaking out that the waves were so good so we were like alright let’s go do a lap of the points. Corey wanted to try something different so he put a dark filter on. This was my second or third wave into the session. The waves were flawless but we couldn’t do it anymore. The body wouldn’t work so we called it quits. Later that day I hear an excited Corey screaming “WOW!!” For a session we didn’t put much effort into and to get this amazing shot was a total mind blow and the best end to a swell! This shot is in our new book and you can buy it from the link in my bio....

♥ 6204 - @wild.ark are so excited to announce that we are partnering with the Tuke Community and Baia Sportfishing Lodge on our second conservation project the Tuke Rainforest Conservancy, a 42,000 acre rainforest conservancy  located deep in the Nakanai Mountains on the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. The Nakanai Mountains were proposed as a World Heritage site in 2006 by the PNG government and are still on the tentative list. Since then the island has been heavily logged and cleared for palm plantations, leaving only pockets of lowland forest intact. Luckily large tracts of remote Montane forest, such as the Tuke region, remain undisturbed. The Tuke Rainforest Conservancy will protect the rainforest from  logging and palm activities that pressure the region. Find out more at www.wildark.com
