Why did you choose to come to Swansea?
I had heard great things about the University and I know the Gower gets some good surf.

What makes Swansea a good place to train/practice?The Gower offers a range of surf breaks for various conditions so as long as there is swell there's somewhere to train.

What support do you get from the university to combine study and training?The university has sorted out Gym entrance and Physio when I need it. Also I will be receiving some financial assistance.

Which sporting figures do you most admire?Very difficult question undoubtedly. Joel Tudor from USA is the most stylish surfer of all time and Kelly Slater has 8 world titles for shortboarding. But its great seeing British guys pushing boundaries such as Ben Skinner, current European longboard tour champion.
