11. Do you think competition improves your surfing standards ?
Maybe not physically but mentally I think it teaches you your limits, you find which manoeuvres are safe and whats a risk, plus watching all the top guys was great for me as a younger bloke.you can`t aim to be the best unless you've seen what the best is.

12. What contribution do you think you have given the sport of kboarding ?
Beer and more the social side which is just as important to me as the surfing.few tricks I suppose no one really seems to have a crack at the new skool side of things but they don`t score well because people right them off even though there way harder than standard carves and cutties.

13. What things do you think we could do to improve our sport ?
Contests need paid Judges that’s for sure or else it unfair you can`t judge fair when its ya mate. Expoure is hard but thanks to shed nine video`s Kneeboarding has been a part of many thousands of sold movies and has clips that have been floating around Fuel tv for more than 6 years.
And boards there is no standard in Kneeboards which is really cool but kinda detrimental to the overall level of progression.
