    What is your background and previous experience?

    I am originally from Raglan, so a surfing background. Then life as a working musician lead me to the music lndustry where I ran NZs first major online music retailer (SoundsNZ, formerly HMV) and a monthly music/lifestyle magazine. Then to London where I worked as freelancer for Mac People which lead to various agencies and weirder opportunities.

    Which Ozone related discipline are you most passionate about?

    I love foiling, SUP foiling and winging.

    Describe what those disciplines mean to you?

    I just love foiling, the weightless silence on a wave. Having had both my knees replaced means I can do something that is gentle on my knees. Same with winging really.

    What’s your favourite part of working for Ozone?

    New designs coming to life and working out.

    What is your favourite Ozone piece of equipment and why?

    Wasp, see above why 😉
