What would you say is your preferred wave type?
My wave type is a big steep drop into a long hollow barrel with an open section at the end for a trick or 2.
How would you describe your bodysurfing Style?
The bodysurfing style I have is what I think of as a hydrodynamic style, I try to squish everything together to get me maximum speed. I normally keep my non planing hand (on a right wave it would be my left hand) tucked close into my body and if I want to do a cut back or stall I grab the water with this hand to control my speed.

1. Cape Solander, Australia
2. Suck rock, Australia
3, Pipeline, Hawaii
