No-one knows the waves better than an Aussie surf champ - Weetbix TRYathlon ambassodor Steph Gilmore gives K-Zone her top boarding tips.
I first got into surfing because...
My dad and my older sisters were all out in the water every day, so it only seemed natural to join in on the fun!
A typical day for Steph Gilmore is...
I travel lots but when I’m at home I…
* Make a delicious breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, eggs and toast.
* Phone around to see which of my friends are available to come surfing with me!
My proudest moment so far…
When I won my first World Tour event as a wild card it was the best feeling - I was still in high school!
My top three tips for getting better at surfing…
1. Find some friends who are keen to do it with you.
2. Start in small, soft rolling waves so you can learn the basics.
3. Be sun safe.
My fave chill-out activity when I’m not in the surf is…
Playing music - I like to play the electric guitar!
The best thing about keeping fit and active is...
It makes you feel so good, inside and out.
