Slab Bodyboarding Podcast

My love affair with waves began as a fourteen-year-old boy on the rugged swell sucking beaches of Western Australia. I was so pumped full of adrenaline after my first surf that I could not sleep. In this moment, I realised that ocean life was for me. The only snag in my plan was that I lived on the South Coast of England (nowhere near any world class waves) and was particularly good at another sport; rugby. Good enough to be picked up by Saracens RFC. That's when things got a little dark - I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle in a pre-season warm-up game and that was that - professional rugby career done. I then went into business for twelve years, which I greatly enjoyed and became obsessed by. I lost sight of who I really was and what kind of life I wanted to live. I longed for the ocean life that I'd visualised as a boy. So, I moved to Newquay ten years ago, became a model and started surfing everyday. In 2019, I decided to take it more seriously, with a simple objective to become Britain's best bodyboarder. I am currently ranked 7th in England.

If you said the name of today's guest to anyone who bodyboards you will instantly make that person think of sick gravel wedges and hammering aerial manoeuvres off lips thicker than the tyres on the tractors that rake the golden sands that our guest calls home. He's a free surfer with his own custom board and a huge social media following thanks to the POVs he captures from inside the barrel, one of which recently set the Internet alight AGAIN. and his acrobatic antics at a wave that sends bodyboarders delirious with dangerous overloads of froth whenever you mention it. He is a film producer, content creator, and DJ on land, but in the water he turns into a beast like the waves he rides, refusing to be tamed turning in beautifully timed rocket boosts off the lip time and again whether it's inverted, rolled, spun or flipped. He is synonymous with The Wedge. Alongside the current World Champion Tanner McDaniel he has created the globally recognisable social media brand Breaking Even TV.
