Its been an exciting few weeks with friends and family coming over to compete in the noosa festival of surfing aswell as the WSL Lqs, I have been so lucky to have competed with some of the best longboarders in the region.
Making it into the quarterfinals of the longboard lqs last week I also qualified through qs ranking to be selected for the nz team going to El Salvador in a few weeks.
Im so grateful for the opportunity and looking forward for the chance to compete against some of the world's best.
Although this is a costly competition, for which i am looking to fundraise, any help is welcome and I would be so grateful for. Check out my website in my bio if you would like to support my journey.
Thank you, I look forward to repping nz.

thanks so much.
First time riding this wider and more drivey fin by @soulty.seas loving it on the noserides and turns. opting to ride this fin when you need more hold in the nose and more drive in your turns.
thanks @flexwetsuits for keeping me warm in Noosa winter.

Little adventure to Double Island point, big thanks to @eksunscreen for keeping me safe in the sun all these years in NZ and now Aus. I haven't been burnt while over here in the land of the sun and waves thanks to 50plus spf. Jules, the creator of Ek, has crafted this special blend to be the best natural and reef friendly sunscreen that I use every day. My normal surf sessions can range 2 to 8 hours in the water, and I only apply once every session. It's incredible on your skin and has a nice smell and feel.
I'd recommend it to anyone, catch me out in noosa sometime for a free sample. 🤙🤙
Thanks, Fliss and Delph, for the driving skills and @merrymm_e for the clips.

Sunrise sessions are the best

So far, so good. I've been having some amazing times in noosa over the last few weeks competing in the @noosa_festival_of_surfing and surfing the points at their best. Few shots from t tree while training. Thanks, @gavinidone.surf, for the shots and being in my corner.
Overall, I got knocked in round 2 of the competition and will hope to improve in the coming year. Feeling strong on the forehand just needa work on a bit more flow and style. Thanks heaps to those who have supported me moving to aus and my sponsors for making amazing products to help me perform.
