| REASON FOR TAKING UP THE SPORT: | Like many Australians, my love for the ocean and Surf Ski paddling paved the way for my Kayaking career. At the 2007 Surf Life Saving National Titles, Ramon Andersson (coach) approached me after some great races and asked if I would like to try kayaking. I was tentative at first, but i eventually gave it a go and really loved the challenge | |
| MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN CAREER: | Ramon Andersson - my coach. Never in my life have I met a more honoeable decent human being. He is such a great leader, coach and mentor, setting the best example for all his athletes. Hes the fittest coach walking around i reckon! "Rambo" | |

paddle down the course faster that we ever have before.
