Henry, what is the best part about being a surf sports athlete?

Making sure your fuelling your body with what it needs, but also trying to enjoy and be positive about training.

Results happen over time, not overnight. Work hard, stay consistent, and be patient.

Have a nice breakfast and then chill out and try to relax before I head down to the beach for racing.
