Where I want to surf: I really want to surf at Kelly Slaters wave pool everyone just gets so tubed there, and I wanna experience it for myself.

Who would you take on an all-expenses paid trip to Tavarua: I’d probably take my friend Ariana, and have an all goofy foot trip, which is most ideal for spots like Cloudbreak. She also has been there before so would be able to feed me ‘inside knowledge’

Favourite post surf meal: An Açai bowl for sure.
