WSL: What differentiates you from the other surfers on Tour - as a person and as a surfer?
RC: I'm from New Zealand and I can't stop saying 'chur.'

He grew up just down the road from TB. Surfs pretty good too !

I think he will struggle - he only just scrapped in to the main event and the standard at the top of the WSL is a massive gap. Given his seeding he will come up against the big big boys first up so will need to get a couple of early results to get himself out of that end of the draw. If not he will be on struggle street all year. I hope I am wrong and he does great! Maz lives near TB and still surfs incredibly well - he is just a bit older these days !
