A perfect day in Margaret River? I really love the winter months and surfing with a few friends followed by relaxing at home with the family enjoying a home cooked meal and glass of wine in front of an open fire – so relaxing.

If someone was visiting, what must they do? The area is renowned for its wineries, so a good wine tour is a must.

A perfect meal in Margaret River? I like eating in at home but if eating out try the Gnarabar, great service with amazing food.

What is the best thing about your spot? The surf all year around.

What is the worst? At the moment we have had a lot of Shark attacks

A little known fact about where you live? This is not fact but I am sure you can surf more days throughout the year than anywhere else in the world.

Where is your favorite place in the world? Apart from home with the family, some remote island in Indonesia.
