About Me
I grew up on WA’s wild coast and spent years travelling the globe as a professional free‑surfer – and, I had a hell time doing it. These days you’ll find me back home captaining our commercial cockle‑fishing licence up in Shark Bay, or packing the Landcruiser and head camping, fishing or on a surfing missions.

- Featured in every Quiksilver Young Guns flick.
- Dropped my own profile film “There’s No I in Go Ry” (cheers for the name, Shaun Hazza 😂).

- Racked up a stack of other air‑show wins and free‑surf moments around the planet.

PLANS FOR 2025
I’m keen/hoping to explore some brand‑new locations and find some untouched waves and big fish. Watch this space..

THE MAD HUEYS Q & A
1. Most Memorable Surf:
Scored some sick pits & big slab lefts at home with Dean Hazza and Brenno.
3. Most Memorable Fish Caught:
A session on the Great Barrier Reef where we slayed some big GTs with Shaun and Captain Blackbeard.
4. Most Memorable Party:
Hazza’s 21st on the Goldy. Known the boys over twenty years and that night was next‑level. Look forward to many more.
