The beautiful Italian women will keep you on your toes. 

What’s the worst thing?

Althouh the European espresso and croissant system is growing on me I’m still a “Big Kiwi Breakfast” kinda guy.

5 things you love about Europe
?

The passionate people, the Italian snowboard community, the French wine, the limitless riding options and the relaxed boarder security.

You’re involved with a crew called Rusty Tooth Brush, tell us about that..


Rusty Toothbrush kicked off a little over a year ago in New Zealand with my 2 best buddies Troy Tanner and Daniel Medina unfortunately  both suffered serious set-backs this year that have got them questioning their future with snowboarding.
Rusty Toothbrush is now officially a film production company operating predominantly here in Europe.
I am the producer and work with 2 full-time fillers: Francesco Zoppei (ITALY) and Theo Acworth (UK) Together we recently completed a summer project on the Glacier in Les Deux Alpes – France

What was the best trick you last got on film?

Hardway back-270 into a kink

What was the worst slam?

Did you ever see the time I fell into a half-pipe on a deckchair?
 That was the scariest!

Where do you plan to be for the northern hemisphere season?
