These days, I call Bali home, where I keep an eye on the Mango Tree Cafe at Padang Padang in between sojourns to some of the remoter corners of Indonesia. I still love hunting down high quality waves with no one around, just like I've always done. And I'm still very passionate about continuing to develop my surfboard designs, building the occasional limited edition series of boards when I feel inspired. "As life goes on, I am coming to understand more and more, that it is the simple things that are the most important, and in particular, just how special it is to be able to go for a surf. It's also becoming obvious, that at the end of the day, the only things I'm going to be taking with me when i leave are the feelings and memories in my heart..." Always curious, I managed to find my way outside on some of the cleaner days and to this day, I still remember the awe and amazement that I felt when I pulled into my first double overhead barrel at the age of 14. It was pre legrope days and I spent the rest of my morning swimming against the currents to get back to the beach.
