Age: 14 Home town: I live just outside of Perranporth, so Perranporth it is.. Home break: Perranporth beach What did you really wish for this Christmas? I wanted a new board but I didn't get one, but I got this reallly cool Roxy jacket that I wanted last year but didn't get! Where was the last place you surfed? PERRANPORTH! Best surfer of 2006? I dunno…I dont keep track, I read stuff and forget! I have the memory of a fish! What's your best tip for keeping fit this winter? Swim and gym for me (oh yeah and eat pasta at school). Who's cool in your opinion? Me and my mates Are you going on a winter trip if so where? Hey, I’m 14, I can’t afford stuff like that! I would really love to go to Australia or New Zealand, both my parents have been there but I haven't! Name your top four must have items to take on a trip? Purse, sunnies, lib balm (I die without it!) and my BIC board. What was the last thing you bought? Probably food… What's the best thing that happened to you in 2006? I did this Olympic trial thing back a few months ago, sadly i’m too young! Also the summer holidays were great! And your New Years resolutions are...
